Highlights: Day One

Marvellous Marvel at Romance Was Born

Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett never fail to deliver.  Opening the week with sirens and alarms, their Marvel inspired collection clashed graphic prints together with vibrant red hair and an applied brow bringing dreams of many a young boy from page to life. 
When working within the parameters of  comic book heroes, one has the potential to stray from fashion into costume (I've seen one to many superhero cape for my liking... Hell I've even worn a few)  But Sales and Plunkett took it to a new level creating Givenchy/Versace-esque prints that have never made comics look so chic.

Bam, POW, Shazaam.  Romance Was Born have opened the week and set the bar high.

International delegates refused entry to Gail Sorronda

Tim Blanks and style bloggers Bryanboy and Susie Bubble were refused entry to Gail Sorronda's 'Oh My Goth' collection being told that they had 'just missed media'.   Me thinks that door bitches need to be trained better on who and who not to let into shows... Bingle vs Blanks.... I know who I would back....
On another note, Sorronda highlighted her signature black and whites with a handful of allsort brights with raggedy Anne face.  Layered babydolls, trapeze blouses and polka dot pants, it was a sophisticated day at the cirque.

Gypsies, Tramps and Red Carpet

I was cursed by a gypsy once.  Her name was Veruschka and she said I would never be able to wear a clog. Usually that wouldn't bother me but it was the Spring summer of 2010 and Chanel had just released a plethora of clogs... That bitch, I would never trust a gypsy again.... turns out nobody looks good in a clog so perhaps she was on to something.

Kirrily Johnston knew this,  that's why she filled her runway with luxe village gypsies in a palette of dusted Florals, butter, fuscia, chartreuse and her signature black, nude and white.  Dreamy draping and weightless fabrics gave an effortless look that were garnished with statement pendants and earrings. 

Moral of the story, dress like a gypsy.

Ksubi

Double, triple and quadruple denim.... I'm yet to believe this can work. Even if Christine Centenera is styling the show.  Withholding judgement on this one. 

Tweet of the day

@damienwoolnough  Ksubi. I get that you're totes edgy.  I even like double denim. But don't make me sit on a concrete floor. Your show gave me piles.#MBFWA
