Over the last week London has been abuzz with all things fashion as the great and the good have gathered for London fashion week. Here are three of my personal favourites to emerge on the catwalks and some cunning plus size dupes so you can inject a little high fashion styling into your wardrobe this season.
Erdem
Lets kick off with possibly my favorite collection of the week. Erdem was all faded grandeur, candy coloured shades with heirloom styling. Brocades, velvet's, frayed edged and fifties shapes. Exquisite.
Plus Size Dupe:
Grazia Floral Print Dress Simply Be £60
Burberry Prorsum
Burberry was boho chic the luxury version. Floaty fabrics, empire lines and some beautiful patchwork effect prints. This is definitely one of the more wearable trends. It has a vaguely sixties flower child feeling to it with the models sporting softly waved hair and sack bags.
Plus Size Dupe
Lovedrobe Maxi Print Dress £65
Topshop Unique
Topshop Unique was very English Rose with its styling. Tweedy check was the fabric de jour which was seen on pinafores and coats. Fur is as popular as ever (which is great news if like me you are not quite ready to give up your faux fur stoles)
Plus Size Dupe
Gingham Check Dress Simply be £31.97
Giles
The Giles show was sinister, gothic and darkly stylish. Crisp ruffled collars and bows stopped it looking too Wednesday Adams chic and the use of ruffles and pleats gave the clothes a fabulous tailored quality.
Plus Size Dupe
Scarlett and Jo
Its a great time for fashion right now (Milan looks amazing) never feel that the trends that emerge aren't for you because of your size or shape. The looks displayed are simply indicators of fabrics, shapes and textures that are sure to be filling stores everywhere and with some clever shopping you can be strutting you LFW style by Monday.
