London Fashion Week – Fashion Trends for 2014

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better... London Fashion week has arrived. And the key word this week: PAPPS– isn’t the paparazzi, it’s the key themes for next year. Preppy. Acid. Pastel. Patterns. Sparkle. 

Next season is feminine with lots of pastels, floral, sparkles and girly pleats with designers adding a bit of kilt style into the mix. Pretty pastels in conjunction with brighter acid colours were everywhere and that sparkle we were all waiting for was very much on trend. Lolo and Galago has created collections that specifically work with these designs, due to be launched in 2014- statement pieces that work with the trends.

One of the interesting themes we noted was the ‘mullet’ skirt- a style that has long been a favourite with Hollywood starlets looking to create drama on the red carpet. This was seen in Antonio Berardi's runway show. Whilst perhaps tricky to wear whilst running in the rain, we’re confident if you get a taxi to a restaurant you could certainly make an impact!

Our personal favourite and yes- it had to British- was Burberry. They stole the show at the London Fashion Week. The best of British, it was alight with petals falling over a pleathora of pastels and acid pink colours accesoried by sparkly belts and jewellery sewn into dresses. How to compliment these sorts of styles with accessories? Think glam, large, statement jewellery. Oh how will Milan and Paris top this?
