While the New York uniform is heavy on black, London style is heavy on creativity and colour. We love the volume of this gorgeous cobalt blue skirt especially when paired with the large paint splattered bag (is that an inflatable pool toy?). This streeter has us dreaming of Jeannie.

This streeter’s look is why we love London Fashion Week: The style is no holds barred. A shiny striped jacket with puffy shoulders paired with a neck piece that looks like ninja weaponry? Easy.

1. Silver, silver everywhere

2. Snakeskin

There is something severe and military-esque about this streeter’s outfit–from the top knot down to the fur sleeves, the leather harness and the lace-up boots.

This streeter’s topper contains oceans, snow-capped mountains, ice shelves, hurricanes… Let’s see a camel cape do that.

While we’re suckers for drama (who doesn’t love yards and yards of tulle) there’s something extremely refreshing about an unfussy, uncomplicated outfit. And while this streeter opts for the simpler route, she injects some personality with a big scarf and oversized glasses.

I love London. I haven’t spent much time here–a day in transit here, a week or two there–so what’s been particularly brilliant (to borrow a very British descriptor) is when designers host their fashion shows off-venue. The Topshop space, which has hosted the Topshop Unique, Richard Nicoll, and Peter Pilotto shows, is an old EuroStar […]

1. Leopard print (seriously, it’s everywhere)

2. Dresses that make noise (like Mark Fast’s Swarovski-encrusted frocks)

We absolutely love this streeter’s eclectic style. Though she is wearing so many different trends–fur, denim, military, tan–she still manages to nail boho chic.

As the mercury begins its steady decline (are you ready for another Canadian winter?) this chunky knit sweater begins to look more and more seductive. We love the simple winter white and coal black palette and how this streeter mixed oversized and super-skinny proportions. Warm, cozy and sexy.

Friday

The first shows in London were under-attended due to the tornado in New York, but in London the weather’s fine and after a restful night at the May Fair Hotel and a lovely car ride with my assigned driver for the week (thanks, British Fashion Council!), I started the day at the Bora Aksu show. (Loved the ant-trail-printed tights. Wonder if—hoping—those will be produced?)

1. Fur-like vests made of looped yarn 2. The Anya Hindmarch “Anya on the Thames” boat 3. Girlie bows 4. Gray accessories 5. A simple black velvet dress 6. Thick black tights worn with light-coloured sandals 7. High-heel desert boots 8. Shearling 9. Long, semi-sheer skirts 10. Sorbet-coloured dresses for spring. (Can’t we wear these […]
