I have traveled to London, and the streets are full of fashion. Walking around London, even street fashion is tailored. Think Topshop inspiration. However, not everyone in London conforms to trends, think spice girls. Ginger Spice always rocked the British flag as a dress, and it was fashionable in the 90s, but would you wear an American flag dress? So here are my favorite looks from London Fashion Week.
1. Burberry Prorsum
Burberry pulled off this linear coat sophistically. The cuts are clean, geometric, and chic. I love the pairing of the teal belt. The lines are also slimming since they are vertical. 
This dress is absolutely to die for. The detailing of the overlaying of pleats creates movement in the dress. The lines also create character of the dress. This is a tasteful dress for a night out or throw a cream blazer and make it into a day look.
This edgy double breast coat has so much character from the gold spikes. The tan, gold, and violet colors compliment each other. There is also a shorter version of this coat but I adore the longer trench.
2. Holly Fulton
This look is similar to the first, but the detailing is so different and fun. It reminds me of the time I was in Haiti, (Labadee- Cruise destination) and I remember seeing the cartoon representation of the animals and they're bright and colorful designs.
This dress could be worn with black stilettos or nude flats. I love the monochromatic shades of gray against yellow with the thick black outline and compliments of black embellishments. This dress is all about balance and shapes.
3. Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Known for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions in to the mainstream. She is also widely known as a political activist, which she transforms into her clothing. I like this look because it updates a simple work pant and adds texture to a blazer but still keeps a sleek look.
I like the color blocking of this dress the colors compliment each other very well. The stripes aren't harsh on the eyes because they have fluidity, creating more of a slimmer look.
There's nothing more fashionable than a statement piece.I love the collar of this dress and it's texture. The fact that it's white creates that very clean and pure vibe- perfect for spring. I like the harmony of the busy top yet simple bottom half of the dress.
So those are my top looks from London Fashion Week. Where the English are known for dressing to fit their character, not conforming or being too commercialized. But during London Fashion Week there was a very special memorial, to the great Alexander McQueen. His memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral had all the theatrical drama, and beauty parallel to his catwalk shows. Kate Moss in a McQueen leather dress; Naomi Cambell in McQueen black fur and feathers, along with Sarah Jessica Parker also donned in McQueen attended the service hosted by Anna Wintour.
So to honor McQueen I have posted this link from youtube which shows how innovative he was. On cocoperez.com, there's this new invention of 'spray on clothing'. It was only years ago, when McQueen though of spraying clothing as art...
Fashionably yours,
Karen
