LFW AW14 Preview... Ones to watch!

With less than a week to go before the special heels are taken out of the wardrobe and the blogger pose is perfected I thought now would be a good time to go through the collections that I am watching out for during London Fashion Week.

Daks

I am an old lady at heart when it comes to some labels. I look back the silhouettes during the Art Nouveau and Deco periods and wish I could fill my wardrobe with their sumptuous delights. Daks evokes this for me, time and time again. it does not mess around. It is clean, simple and more importantly ELEGANT AS HELL.  You put on a Daks blazer and you feel the history of its 120 years on your shoulders, expertly crafted you feel like you have dropped right into the middle of Brideshead, ready for an adventure on the lawn.

Hunter

EVERYONE is talking about Hunter's first foray into London Fashion Week and I couldn't talk about one British heritage brand without mentioning another. 

Expect, elegant updates on the good old gumboot, with bespoke designs (excruciatingly on trend of course!) There is no stopping this internationally recognised brand.

Preen

A celebrity staple, found on the backs of everyone from Chloe Sevigny to Rhianna and Carey Mulligan this collection is fun, relaxed and bright Expertly crafted with its tongue planted firmly in its cheek. Saturday cannot come soon enough for me!

Peter Pilotto

Another brand on the tip of everyone's tongue is Peter Pilotto. This young, fun and rebellious label has just completed it collection for the American Superstore, Target to great aplomb. Expect another bright, pattern heavy collection begging for it's pieced to be clashed. I already want it all!
