EDUN
Love the fuzzy, cosy quality of the clothes, they look extremely wearable yet sporty and elegant. A tricky combo to pull off, bravo. Designer Danielle Sherman backed by LVMH and funded by Bono and Ali Hewson managed well and reminded me a little of Phoebe Philo’s Celine.
COACH
Very excited by Coach, this their first season introducing a clothing line designed beautifully by Stuart Vevers who was at LVMH’s Loewe label. He based his thinking on true Americana, wonderfully wearable, witty, leathery and superbly cut. Great bags and even greater boots and shoes, can’t wait.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Lovely clean lines, elegant and modern. Exquisite tailoring and love the chunky gold chains on the divine coats and coat dresses. Well done team Beckham and I am thinking that our lovey friend Susanne Tide-Frater might have had a good deal to do with concept and execution. Well done.
PRABAL GURUNG
New to me but Gurung, a Nepalese designer, first appeared in 2009 with his first runway collection. He studied in New Dehli at the National Institute of Fashion Technology and then in NY at Parsons. Now an American citizen he is most definitely on the map. Loved his chunky deconstructed knits over chiffon and silk skirts that showed a fair amount of leg, cute. Gorgeous colour combinations and some very clever glam tailoring. Me likey.
We’re now ready and waiting for LFW!
