Burberry Prorsum
It was pastel paradise at Burberry Prorsum with mini dresses and trenches alike adorned with embelishments and belts. Draped and knotted skirts were paired with equally elaborate tops and trenches were reinvented with ruched sleeves, metallics and military inspiration. I was particularly smitten with the embellished metallic pieces towards the end and am currently lusting for the gold number Emma Watson wore in the front row.Peter Pilotto
Peter Pilotto created a whispy collection of washed out hues in many a varying print. Pale blue, yellow, green and grey presented the background for structured skirts, strong shoulders and more generally season-appropriate short pieces. Suit jackets and lightweight knits gave a formal yet informal feel paired with super-short high-waisted shorts and waist-clinching belts.
Paul Smith
Paul Smith showed a combination of boy meets girl design with impeccable suit jackets and ties with bright colours and cute shorts. Patterns from checks to leopard to tribal donned knits, skirts, tops and dresses ensuring a very interesting show. Accessories included giant weave necklaces and beaded hair pieces and shoes were kept light and breezy with strappy sandals.
Christopher Kane
Light weigh checks dominated Christopher Kane's runway with thigh-high split skirts and sheer tops. Embroidered florals stood out from the standard print pattern in pastel pinks and yellows. Fly away hair gave the sense that models were walking through a gentle breeze as their whispy attire shimmied down the runway.
Josh Goot
Josh Goot presented a very colour-central, body conscious collection featuring geometric shapes with bright splashes of colour. Minis were the go from long tees to short frocks in spots, stripes, solids and gradients. Models wore pointed elevated pumps and occasionally sunglasses, completing the perfect summer stoll downtown look.Vivenne Westwood Red Label
Many a cute prop was taken for a walk down the runway to accompany Vivenne Westwood's Red Label spring collection; among them straw umbrellas, goat horns, toy frogs, a strand of barley and a real puppy! The clothes themselves were Westwood at her best with whimsical patterns in every colour under the sun, an array of spring jackets, print tees and straw hats.
Charles Anaste
It was a bag of mixed balls at Charles Anaste with many a tip-of-the-hat to past season collections. While strong solid colours remained constant, skirts varied from tulip to tulle, hoop to hanging all accompanied by Anaste's signature sky-high platforms. Pouffy dresses and textured overalls also made an appearance adding to an overall mix and match medley of clothes.
