LFW DAY ONE: Fal Irvoll / Bora Aksu



Here we goes again, another February meaning another season of London Fashion Week. Autumn / Winter 2012-2013 looking bright as ever as more designers are on show in London and they had stepped up its game, hiring more spaces within Somerset House, and accomadating mmore designers for exhibitions.
Our day started off with Fal Irvoll, a bold ghostbuster-obessed fashion designer from Norway, at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.
''Monstermash'' - the 'mash' started with a remix of ghostbusters which I'm in love with and needing to hunt that track down as soon as possible (anyone know a good remix of ghostbusters? email me!!)
The overall collection is playful and has a strong bedroom party feeling to it (PJ party, anyone?!) with its first look featuring a yellow knitted jumper with a monster pattern, created a great atmosphere to the show.

Other than using various bold pattterns, and knitwear, the silhoutte is also pretty interesting as it is hard to find suitable garment for its 'bedroom' pattern. Pinched at the waist line while paired with a knee-high skirt that contrast its top half pattern made the collection stood out from just a normal pattern-orientated collection.
LOVE THE MODELS by the way, they were able to have a laugh, a dance round, instead of the normal 'sad', 'arrogant-looking', 'generic' ''hanger'' models. & Kidswear catwalk showed right after, and deary me, few talents to be discovered there.

 

Proceeding on to Bora Aksu. Running in slippery brougue is a cause to embarassing yourself - NOTED!
With music circa round the 1950s, reminds me of those old scshool dance with a jazz band in sight, but I'm sure that I got the decade and scenario wrong as refer to the press release from Bora Aksu, pthe collection is ''a celebration of bewitching childish purity and feminine strength in a collection which aims to entrance and inspire.''

The collection's colour palette are generally quite dark but subtle as it had added few dashes of dusty pinks, creams and a minimal fuchsia.
Along with few heavy wool capes and knits, the main focus is upon its playful tops and dresses in various shape of pleats, drapes and pussy bows.
