London Fashion Week AW 2013

“I think British style is the best in world. It’s a bit naughty, doesn’t take itself too seriously and I love that.”

If British fashion icon Twiggy thinks so then who are we to argue?

I have decided to keep this simple and let the images do the talking. I have picked my ultimate favourite bits from London Fashion Week  A/W 2013 from the fabulous to the weird and wacky.

Paul Smith’s bold design’s with a masculine twist is perfect daywear which will literally make you stand out from the crowd.

When I saw Marios Schwab’s collection I couldn’t help but think of an elegant yet powerful Maid Marion rescuing Robin Hood from the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Dominic Jones’ gothic inspired jewellery.

I was completely lured into Sophia Webster’s collection like Hansel and Gretel to the witches Candy House.

Now for the bizarre and the baa.

A loo roll, foil baking trays, sellotape and corner shop carrier bags. Louise Gray is taking recycling to another level.

  • There are a few different Alexander McQueen designs available, mostly with skulls on them, but this Hummingbird cushion by The Rug Company is our favourite – POA, from The Rug Company.
  • The Oxygene lamp from Armani Casa will fit into a variety of interiors – POA, from Armani Casa, Dubai Mall.
  • So you’ve got a few pieces from House of Holland with a similar design, why not bring the same print into your bedroom? This DVF Spotted Cat bed linen will not only brighten up any interior, but is on trend for 2012 – $250-$350 from DVF or Bloomingdales, Dubai Mall.
  • As always, we can’t resist a bit of Vivienne Westwood, and the VW Flag Rug, Mouth and Scribble Orb cushions are no exception. Add these pieces to a bland interior to infuse a bit of Cool Britannia punk – POA, from The Rug Company.
  • Fine bone china from Paul Smith by Thomas Goode – the collection includes a coffee jug, tea pot, and breakfast cup and saucer – perfect for an afternoon tea (or coffee) – collection prices start at $62, Coffee Jug $500, from Paul Smith.
