Although we might be in the throes of the longest winter in history and have not yet seen the light of summer, anyone who is anyone in the fashion industry possessed the hottest ticket in town. That of London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter, 2010.

Last Friday saw celebrities, journalists and crème de la crème of fashion moguls take their seats at Somerset House to see what the capital’s finest designer had to offer for the coming season.

The consensus was that the most exciting shows without a doubt were Erdem, showcasing a dramatic collection of floor-sweeping gowns, featuring high necks and lace with a nod to the 60’s in their style and prints of floral in shades of teal and cloudy greys.

Hot on their tail was Christopher Kane, who’s hugely successful diffusion ranges for High street giants , Topshop has given him a massive following. As usual he didn’t disappoint, wowing the crowds with his structured lace and leather pieces and showed off the new erogenous zone, with his thigh-high shredded leggings.

Peter Pilotto, showed his architectural influences yet again using extreme patchwork in his designs of leather, knit and fur, expressing his love of natural fibres in a man-made world.

Aside from erogenous leather and lace and flashes of colour, there was also a suggestion towards a more minimalistic trend emerging, amazingly by King of Boho, Mathew Williamson in particular presenting a rather sensible collection of tweed with a much more pared down pallete.
