While some were still taking in all the trends from New York Fashion Week here comes London Fashion Week. The five-day fashion week just wrapped up yesterday. Some of the biggest trends that we notice are floral prints and bright colors. Now, of course, we can’t recap all of the collections from the week. Instead here are some of the collections for each day of action. Check out which collections made the cut below.

Day 1(2/19/16)

JS Lee Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

Victorian architecture is the main inspiration for this collection. The clean, crisp lines allow you to focus more on the fine detailing of the pieces. Sometimes, out of the box designs and etc. are not necessary.

This collection has an overall minimalistic feel with hints of metal. Our favorite pieces would have to red wool trench coats and the cream oversized coat.

Day 2 (2/20/16)

Markus Lupfer Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

According to Vogue Runway the designer states, “I was thinking about 24 hours, what this girl is doing—waking up and being relaxed, going through the day, then to a disco party.”

Molly Goddard Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

The inspiration for this collection was based on the ’60s Japanese cult classic Tokyo Drifter. What we appreciate is a diversity of the models that walked the runway.

Gareth Pugh Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

For this collection, Pugh was all about women in charge with bold pieces such as pantsuits and interesting Hannibal Lecter hockey masks. The standouts from this collection would have to be the stars featured looks paired with the 40’s victory rolls hairdos.

Day 3 (2/21/16)

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

Photo: Marcus Tondo / Indigital.tv

In typical fashion, Westwood gave fashion fans plenty to talk about. This collection has a little bit of everything. To the “patchwork quilt” to plaid features looks the designer did not lack in details. For the woman who frequently switches her look this collection is for her.

Temperley London Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

Sailor-worthy tattoos, sea creatures, and frogging as found on naval uniforms were the key elements for Temperley London’s Fall 2016 collection.

Day 4 (2/22/16)

Erdem Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

Photo: Kim Weston Arnold / Indigital.tv

Moralioglu was inspired by “1920s shifts, ’30s bias-cut gowns, and’40s tailoring. The Canadian designers manage to combine three decades of fashion without one overshadowing each other. That is definitely not an easy task to say in the least.

Osman Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

You can miss the poppies influence throughout this collection by the designer. Given the use of this flower and theme of this collection (Thomas De Quincey in Confessions of an English Opium-Eater), it all manages to flow together without being overkill. Floral is a print that can be overpowering if used in excess.

Day 5(2/23/16)

Mother of Pearl Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

The Living Room series by English photographer Nick Waplington helps tell the story of this collection. This collection marks another appearance of floral prints and also includes wearable looks made from high-quality fabrics (silk, and velvet).

Marques' Almeida Autumn/Winter 2016 Ready-To-Wear

Designer team Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida invite their friends to walked the runway in lieu of the usual models. It really helped to get the collection a more “normal everyday people” feel. The use of pink runway really allowed the viewers to focus even more on the collection. Although, this wasn’t our favorite collection of the day we appreciate the different approach to their runway show.

London has left another mark on the fashion week schedule with its fall offerings. Next up is Milan with designers ready to show what they have for this upcoming season. What did you think so far?

On the heels of the end of New York Fashion Week comes London Fashion Week. Here are some of the collections that were showcased over the five days in London. Let's see what London fashion has to offer next spring.

Day 1(9/18/15)

Zandra Rhodes Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear

The stars of this collection of this collection are the hand –drawn prints (banana leaves, squiggles, and abstract landscapes). Another element featured is tennis which was communicated through tennis dresses, sparkly sneakers, and transparent visors.

Eudon Choi Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear

According to Choi, he wanted to focus on the elegant and easy beauty of the actual designs instead than the body for this collection. The silhouettes were left voluminous and designs were clean.

Day2 (9/19/15)

Orla Kiely Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

The color palette consists of muted color palette such as Coral, Lime, and Lilac. The designer also included her secret passion of mini-golf throughout the show (golf course, clubs, and holes). I liked the inclusion of the headbands.

Simone Rocha Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

The inspiration for this collection comes for the designer’s time in Japan. It was interesting how the Japanese influence was weaved through without using the obvious ones. The collection is very feminine and full of intricate designs.

Day 3 (9/20/15)

David Koma Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

There is definitely no shortage of zippers when it comes to the designs. Koma states this collection presents a loose meditation on contemporary dance. Each look makes an impression without overshadowing one another.

Temperley London Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

The theme for this collection was Havana. Viewers were able to pick up on the theme through the use of Cuban inspired prints and styles. As a hat fan myself, I especially loved the Cuban style hats that were included. It just completes the look to me.

Mary Katrantzou Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

At first glance at this collection, my first thought was space. There are a lot of micro sequins, prints and metallic. You can’t forget about the Gypsy aspect of this collection (i.e. Roma gypsy dress). I will admit I wouldn’t have thought about putting these two design elements together. Strangely Katrantzou manages makes it work.

Day 4(9/21/15)

Antonio Berardi Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

Photo: Yannis Vlamos / Indigitalimages.com

Distressed glamour was the theme for Berardi’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection. Solid looks are mingled alongside their colorfully printed counterparts. My favorite from this collection would have to be the black & printed looks.

Christopher Kane Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

Photo: Yannis Vlamos / Indigitalimages.com

It was so much to highlight about this collection. Paint splats, jagged fabric, and cutouts made sure you took notice of each design. I was partial to the paint splattered looks from this collection. Overall, Kane successfully made sure to create a collection that would keep people talking.

Day 5 (9/22/15)

Christopher Raeburn Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

Photo: Marcus Tondo / Indigitalimages.com

The designer is keeping his commitment to being eco-friendly and this collection was no exception. Raeburn managed to insure this by upcycling, using locally sourced materials, and vegetable dyes. The designs didn’t suffer in the process. I liked the combination of colors particularly the black, yellow and white used for several looks. This collection was edgy yet, still wearable.

Victoria, Victoria Beckham Spring /Summer2016 Ready-to-Wear

This collection is full of bold and colorful prints and solid offerings. Big floral prints make up a good portion of this collection. It was very youthful and stylish. This collection is perfect for the woman who likes her fashion to be on the playful side and polished.

That’s just a portion of the collections that ruled the London runway. Next up on the schedule is Milan. Stay tuned.
