This season of London fashion week has been such a breath of fresh air. Designers brought their very best down the runway, leaving us spell bound and having us looking for our bottom jaws.
To kick off my London Fashion summary , let us look at some of my best designers on and off the catwalk.
UNDERAGE launch their spring/ summer 2020 collection, a surreal imagining of a secret society where sensuality reigns supreme.
The collection was a suitably eclectic take on the power of the cult, a theme which serves as the heart of the collection. The designer Ying Shen explored the work of Maisie cousins, Richard prince and Claude Cahun for this season. This collection images a society that champions the female figure with dark undertones so familiar with the UNDERAGE aesthetic.
For SS20, YCH continues to explore how feminism has been accepted and expressed differently across nations, throughout ears and ultimately reflected in fashion. Trying to infuse both femininity of the past and femininity of today, an emphasis is on carefully balancing between the two concepts.
The collection includes a range of dresses, corset- inspired ,high waisted bottoms, layerable trench coats, puffed- shoulder jackets, shirts and blouses, square- toe boots knee high boots , sandals and mules, netty bucket bags, three in one layered bags, cowboy hats and leather jackets. As puffy power shoulders and work wear- inspired trousers embody fierce and independent women of today, the touch of lace, corsets and frill details compliments femininity.
PUSH BUTTON Successfully executed an attempt to reinterpret push button 2020 odyssey to make it relevant to the upcoming 22nd century as their newly defined future.
This collection features variations of bulky and disheveled tailored jacket’s silhouette added to shirts, polo neck jacket and polo shirt transformative power- shoulder.
It also featured latex socks, bags, leather gloves and solid colors in olive green, black, gold, silver, neon green, sky blue, burgundy, beige and black.

Are you a fan or scarves or not?
Day 3 of new york fashion week had me attending quite a numbers of shows. it was my busiest day and I had planned to make the most and best out of it as I usually would.
Right after seeing some shows at the fashion gallery which included prèt- é- porter. I went on to see shows by the Oxford fashion studio which presented 14 designers over the course of two shows at Pier 59 Studios. The collections ranged from evening wear to street-style, including both men and women.
Do you like my outfit? Would you wear it?
Love to read your comments.
More New York fashion week round up coming soon, stay close.
XO,
