London Fashion Week: the Exhibition



The London Fashion Week exhibition was held at the slightly more compact setting of 180 the Strand. A modern, gleaming shell of modernity, it was the perfect backdrop to show the gorgeous wares of both new and established designers. Here's what was, in my opinion, the best of the best:


Plastic shoes decorated in Swarovski crystals by designer J Maskrey

Vivienne Westwoods modelled with a lurex socks: surprisingly, a good look

Bracelets by Orit (http://www.oritlondon.com/)


A fantastic dress with repeated zip inserts by Sofia Alexander



Detail of rainbow zips




A lovely peach dress by Sia (this photo does not do the colour justice unfortunately) http://www.siadimitriadi.com/





Another lovely vintage-inspired dress by Sia
