Day 3 was all about sustainable fashion label, Prophetik, which used to kick-start my London Fashion Week campaign but today was the only label that would get me out of bed. I was suppose to go backstage to this show but sadly my train got stuck outside Kings Cross so I only just made the show, which was a real shame as it would have been lovely to see this collection up close. Want to read more? Well head on over to my full review with more piccies.
With not many shows on my schedule I decided to check out the exhibition at Somerset House and my favourite section had to be the NEWGEN area. I have to admit I was a little disappointed to see it inside, for the past two seasons they have had little sheds outside on the Embankment, I also looked to see what this year’s collectable item was, last season it was bookmarks the season before postcards, if there was something this time around I didn’t find it. I did however find the amazing Christopher Raeburn, who as with Jeff Garner from Prophetik he cares about the environment in his designs.
Using reclaimed military fabrics and parachute silk this is a gorgeous collection of tailored outerwear rain-macs, sporty separates and a new range of bags completes the autumn/winter line-up. I have my eye on the parachute silk totes!!!
To mark their 10th anniversary supporting the NEWGEN talent scheme, Topshop has combined their high-street prices with 20 of the schemes alumni and a charity contribution to Centrepoint with a t-shirt collection. The line is fabulous and has something for everyone from my fav Holly Fulton graphic lips design to squirrel love by Peter Jensen, a floral beauty from Erdem, and a gorgeous print Mary Katrantzou. I loved the Topshop display with its exhibition vibe about it, and I loved the ice-cream van outside so I could pick up a tee, oh and can you spot my fav blogging pal Alex below??
