London Fashion Week F/W 2011

London is AWASH in color!!
If Matthew Williamson and Sass & Bide are any indication LOUD prints in lady like shapes will be all the rage in the fall!

Lets do a quick round up of the shows so far!

Acne:
This collection wasn't for me but these two looks were standouts.

Jonathan Saunders:
I could see some Prada but I felt that Saunders stayed pretty true to his own aesthetic while popping in some polish.

Matthew Williamson:
This is very much a Matthew Williamson collection. Sexy, colorful, covetable.
I like that it actually LOOKS like a fall/winter collection- very cozy without losing an an inch of style.

Mulberry:
Mulberry is hands down my favorite collection out of London so far!
I always forget that Mulberry is not just an accessories company. They have such a massively popular handbag line that its easy to overlook RTW but not this time! A little bit of British school girl mixed with color, fantastic coats and to-die-for accessories!

Sass & Bide:
As a whole, I didn't like this collection. It wasn't a winter collection- which makes sense as the label is Australian and has a different season schedule than we do. But it felt like they were trying too hard to make it a "global" influence collection. It was far too literal for my tastes. That said, I'd happily wear any of these three looks!
