London Fashion Week Throws Sartorial Surprise

Off-schedule runway shows bring pure genius, and occasionally, deliver a dose of drama, during London Fashion Week. Today I witnessed both from my frow seat at Devonshire Square in London where a group of emerging designers showcased their collections. I am wearing a top from Luella, my skirt is from Marni, and python boots are by Sergio Rossi, snake-skin clutch by Emilio Pucci and sunglasses from Marc Jacobs.

My favourite was an independent brand, Hailly London. The designer works with high quality leather and produces bespoke garments that cater to individual tastes and desires.

Today we`ve seen a confident collection called Years of Boldness. Fitted long jackets, leather separates, and intricately detailed dresses reflect a strong and confident personality of a woman who is not afraid to command attention.

I applauded this camel-coloured skirt suit, which was made instantly livelier with a fur trim.

And this monochrome look is as stylish as it is sophisticated.

Today, Hailly London delivered a sartorial symphony: the same notes of block-colour panels and attention to detail appeared throughout the collection.  They had us raring for autumn……yes I am definitely looking forward to be snugly swathed in slinky leather frocks. Especially, if they are as amazing as the ones that paraded on Hailly London`s catwalk.

Christian Louboutin`s Lipstick Collection

Christian Louboutin – a coveted French footwear designer, known for adorning his shoes with signature red-lacquered soles - had ventured into beauty again.  Not content with a well-received line of nail varnishes, he released his very first lipstick collection.

There are almost 40 shades to choose from! The iconic crimson soles are represented by a red hue, which comes in three different finishes - Silky Satin, Sheer Voile, and Velvet Matte.  But you can also find pretty pinks, burgundy, and delicate nudes, to complement any skin tone and any occasion.

The packaging is as luxurious as the product itself. Inspired by Louboutin’s Middle-Eastern heritage on his farther side, the casing is bright and elaborately embellished at the crown-shaped cap.

 

Each lipstick can be used as a jewellery charm or a necklace if you put a ribbon or chain through a specially designed loop at the top of the cap.
