Look who turned up to the party....INvited!


Things are certainly brightening up! And I don't just mean the English weather. Of course most importantly, the London catwalks are heating up, and there have been some hot pieces striding down the runway.

First up: Jasmine Di Milo.

Her collection has caught my eye for simply how stunning it looks. I know it's a models job to make the clothes look even more fantastic than they already are, but there was a certain something here that looked particularly gorgeous. The colours and fit looked almost like a second skin encasing the models. There was nothing too complicated or fussy with this collection; simplicity this time, really did do the talking.
All in all a very accessible collection that looked great.







If embellishment is what you're looking for then there's really only one name you need to look for at the moment, and it comes as a slight surprise; Matthew Williamson. His collection has really grown up and developed for this Spring/Summer. Still true to his usual styling, the collection was feminine, pretty and flowing....but with a more chic and sophisticated edge. The shoulders were still expounded upon this season, but the silhouette was less about power dressing and more about looking strong, yet ladylike. My favourite look had to be these fantastic black shorts.


The same design was also used on shoulders....which I didn't mind at all.


I loved the clash of colours used; pink against canary yellow, yellow gold against faded bronze.


And as I said before...it really was the place for everything embellished.






Last but certainly not least for today, Vivienne Westwood claimed everything I love about fashion as usual. The unlimited creativity of fashion, was branched out past clothes to include the setting of her show. I'm not sure if I totally get the use of a real life dog, I preferred the accessorising of a toy frog.
Red Label has definitly taken a different route for S/S10. I got the feeling of a woman dressing to go and meet friends at tea parties. Hopefully, you'll see what I mean...
But anyway, I thought the collection had left alot of the traditional Vivienne punk vibe behind, as the eccentricity I was expecting in the clothes had vacated the models to set up in the surroundings and accessories.






Some of the greater things I thought were:




I guess by now, you may have wondered about the title of this blog.....

One person was plodding down the runway of Red Label, that made  me cringe. I know, Vivenne Westwood likes to use other 'models' in her catwalks, including Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe and Pamela Anderson....that I can just about get to grips with.

But.....Lisa from Big Brother 2009. No. Just quite simply, NO! I was expecting her sidekick David to prance down at any moment. Thankfully, he didn't. If you really want a look, go to http://www.style.com/ and the Red Label collection. Big Brother contestants won't be featuring on the misspdolly blog for sure.
