London Fashion Week A/W 2012 Overview

Trying to cover London Fashion Week at the same time as having a normal job can be a bit of a challenge- I hope I'm going to get the chance to do some more in depth blog posts on the trends I saw emerging at both the shows I managed to go to and those I missed, but in the meantime I thought I'd just post some of my best pics so far. You can see all my LFW images over on facebook.

Corrie Nielson- a designer I hugely regretted missing last year- lived up to all my expectations. Amazing tailoring and gorgeous mix of textures.

Orla Kiely's presentation was the sweetest tea dance-complete with models dancing with their partners in front of a live band as we indulged in tea and cake. Perfectly on brand. More pics to come- I was using a lomography camera too so I'll do a dedicated post when I get those shots developed.

I really liked the statement neckpieces at Bernard Chandran

Fam Irvoll finished her show with a few children's outfits-if only this came in adults' size!

Fam for grown-ups.

Prophetik's theme was 'courtly love' 

Ashley Isham showed in a new space near st Paul's- absolutely stunning location and equally spectacular collection-lots of lace and embellishment.

Jeffrey Michael was showing for the first time this LFW- his feathered pieces are just gorgeous, and his use of alternative materials (see below)is great fun and totally Gaga-friendly.

Inbar Spector's collection was all shimmer and tulle, with stunning facepieces by Lara Jensen.

And for those of you that like to see pictures of famouses:
