Day One of London Fashion Week

[وحدهم المديرون لديهم صلاحيات معاينة هذه الصورة]

Paul Costelloe kicked the week off with bright colors and many
patterns. His female models wore short dresses and red short wigs as his
few male models wore plaid, tweed and velvet blazers. Shortly after,
Maria Grachvogel models blew the crowd away as they strutted down the
runway with dark lipstick, slick buns, and loose-fitted draped dresses
and jumpsuits. Jena Theo’s models also wore dark makeup and loose fitted
clothes. Their eyes were sprayed black like a mask and their garments
were shorter and layered. Caroline Charles models looked like settlers
from the 1920s in their top hats, maxi skirts, long, wide-legged pants
and suit jackets. The collection consisted of colors such as deep red,
black, tan, grey, blue, a few white pieces and a few patterns. But she
wasn’t the only designer who decided to reinvent the past. Corrie
Nielsen’s 16th century inspired collection was filled with huge ruffled
fabric and tiny waists. The garments ranged from ball gowns to capes.
Fashion week will continue until the 23rd and will feature shows from
designers such as Mulberry, Jaeger London, E. Tautz and Christopher
Kane. Continue to check out our coverage from London Fashion Week and follow our tweets @factiomagazine.com.
