We took the early morning fashion express to Gard du Nord and trekked our way around a dozen appointments all in the name of Autumn Winter 2013.

Morning Coffee at 10 Crosby Derek Lam

First Stop 10 Crosby; we fell in love with the  fabulous and wearable knits in a muted palette of off-whites, nude, navy and caramel.

10 Crosby Derek Lam

A huge collection but we edited out our ‘must haves’,  some colour-block blouses and luxurious knits top of the list.

Next Stop..

We knew we would be, but we were more in love with the Rachel Comey collection when we had a chance to flick through each piece..

Sneak peak ..top of our buy list this catwalk piece…

London Fashion Week is hotting up. The press is awash with news of the top notch designers showing here this season and the elite models taking the starring roles (Cara Delevingne is the name on everyone’s lips)
We loved…

PREEN

AW13 Preen by Thornton Bregazzi

Preen showed a mainly Red, White and Black palette described as ‘deluxe punk’ We love the sharpness of the pieces, the pixelated leopard prints and the silk tartan. Great detailing with outside pockets and silver zipper work and we want to wear it ALL.

SIMONE ROCHA

AW13 Simone Rocha

Called ‘Respect your Elders’ and inspired by Simone’s grannies this catwalk show could certainly be called prim and proper. We loved the use of sparkly tweeds and hand crochets giving the collection  it’s wise and knowing edge. The use of different materials as often favoured by Simone was inspiring and we adored the neoprene and wafer thin mesh fabric. The colour palette was sweet and sugary with bubble gum pinks and rich creams all beautifully put together.

OSTWALD HELGASON

AW13 Ostwald Helgason

A new one for us to watch, we love a fashion collection that embodies the New York spirit and this  small-but-perfectly-formed capsule collection is a winner. We are loving the sweatshirt trend and these guys have created a collection of hip sweatshirts and jackets using some fab brocade tailoring in royal blue and gold. Even the  baseball caps work!
