The most impressive thing about Burberry is the "silver rain" that started at the end of the show. The model walked in the rain with an umbrella, which also well echoed the brand theme.

This year Burberry still broadcasts the fashion show online and live all over the world. It can be seen that Burberry is very good at applying high technology and can walk at the top of fashion.

Non local designers bring new flavor

Although more and more local designers have returned to London Fashion Week, "non local designers" have also shown good performance at London Fashion Week. Roksanda Ilincic, a Serbian designer, and Mary Katrantzou, a Greek designer, were both well received at London Fashion Week.

As one of the most popular women's wear designers in London, Roksanda Ilincic, who is good at making luxury evening wear, has subverted the past style this time. She thinks that women are tired of the perfect and meticulous way of wearing, and need more relaxed and comfortable clothes, so she brings a new series with quite sports and leisure style. Although the release of this season reveals the flavor of sports and leisure everywhere, it also emphasizes its nobility and elegance all the time. Soft fabrics such as silk, rich color combinations, unique decorative details, and the decorative use of furs are impressive. But finally, the color returned to pure white. The model wore a white dress decorated with two-color fur, which was like a queen of ice and snow, and the whole audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

Mary Katrantzou's wavy neckline lace and dress with vertical wrinkles at the hem are impressive.

Mary Katrantzou, who was born in Greece and won the 2011 Newbie Designer Award, still focuses on the printing he is good at this season. In the latest design, she turned the beauty of daily life into the theme of printing, giving up her signature lampshade shaped skirt and keel, and replacing it with a carefully cut A-shaped coat, a Victorian style tunic, a tight Elizabethan style vest coat, a wavy neckline lace and a dress with vertical wrinkles at the bottom are impressive. But the vivid and interesting printing is still very attractive. The spoon, telephone line, typewriter keyboard, luggage tag, coat hanger... all became the protagonist of the printing by her skillful hands. One skirt was embroidered with a real yellow pencil. This show was also rated as the "best" fashion release by many media and fashion people.

"Duchess" effect

"Made in Britain" is a term frequently mentioned at this London Fashion Week. Against this background, "the Duchess Effect" has become a hot topic in the media during the London Fashion Week.

Since Kate Middleton married Prince William last year, her dress style has also been sought after. Alice Temperley, a famous British designer, believes that Kate has brought a "new feeling" to the royal family's dress style. Kate, who often wears British designs, has given great support to the British fashion industry and is also known as the "benefactor" of British fashion brands.

　　Whistles brand Jane Shepherdson, the person in charge, once sniffed at the "Duchess Effect", but during London Fashion Week, she admitted Kate's magic in an interview. "She wears the clothes of Whistles in many public places, which not only increases the sales of clothes, but also makes more people know the brand." Therefore, the expansion of Whistles has been greatly promoted. Now, the stores of Whistles have opened in Russia, and are ready to continue to expand to the United States and Southeast Asia.

Reiss brand also has a say in the "Duchess Effect". Last year, Kate wore a Reiss 340 pound camel dress when she met Mrs. Obama. The dress was not only sold out immediately, but Reiss's website traffic also doubled! British media believe that the Duchess is not only following fashion, but also creating fashion, which is good news for British designers and brands.

Peter Pilotto, who is good at abstract patterns, makes another breakthrough in color

4 Peplum decorative short skirt, which refers to the short skirt with decoration around the waist, was first popular in the 19th century and made men's gorgeous tight jacket easy to move. In Victorian times, it was popular among women's clothing. In autumn and winter of 2011, this style has fully revived, and it has not been out of date until autumn and winter of 2012. At London Fashion Week, David Koma and Nicole Farhi used the detail of decorative skirts at the waist in their wool suits; Burberry is also a big user of waist decoration this season. In its classic windbreaker, different materials such as wool are used as splicing decoration, which is more feminine.

Mulberry's printed decorative skirt style.

5 Loose leather clothes, many leather clothes appeared on the stage of London Fashion Week this season. Different from the tight fitting style of Jim Morrison in the past, brands such as Mulberry and TopShop have chosen wide leg loose leather pants, which will obviously make them more comfortable to wear. Apart from pants, soft Leatherwear It is also used on coats and skirts. Christopher Kane has soft leather piping on the skirt and shoulders as decoration, and Orla Kiely's leather apron blouse also explains this trend.

● Anna (fashion designer)

London Fashion Week can be said to combine electronic products with fashion to the extreme. The special website of the Fashion Week updates information every day, such as Topshop, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, Meadham Kirchhoff, LouiseGray and other fashion shows, which can be viewed through iPhoneapp. Many brands broadcast the fashion show live in front of and behind the stage through Facebook, Twitter and other social tools, so that the world can learn more about fashion shows and the stories behind them at the first time.

● Fashion expert analysis

The most interesting and valuable place of London Fashion Week is Showroom. You can not only see the fabric and cutting from a close distance, but also chat with the designer when you meet him. He will explain the inspiration of this season in detail, which is also the best platform for pushing new people.

● Fashion editing analysis

The most interesting is the first day of St. Martin's graduation show. FelderFelder print and rock style, the elegance in black and white of PPQ are excellent. However, there are also some amazing designs that deliberately show off their skills. Craig Green adds various shapes of cubes behind men, which reminds me of the workers who have to carry things as coolies to make a living. Does Luke Brooks want to bring the image of Olympic themed five ring angels?

● Analysis of fashion buyers

It is said that a Chinese brand has entered London Fashion Week However, I didn't find this schedule by comparing it with the schedule of London Fashion Week, which is very strange... The strangest thing is that it was written on the Internet that "invited by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the UK" to participate in London Fashion Week - is this really going, or is it hyped by London Fashion Week? It is suggested that Chinese brands participate in foreign fashion weeks in the future. It is better to let everyone know and understand before going, rather than hype after coming back.
