LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 12 - STREET STYLE

Hi everyone, 

I believe this will be my final London Fashion Week A/W blog post. I have pretty much covered everything from my internship at Sophie Hulme so I thought I would publish my street style photography taken at Somerset House. 

I went to Somerset House for 7am and worked at Sophie Hulme's show until 1pm. Considering the long hours I worked at Sophie Hulme, I was panicking that I would have very little time to take any street style photographs. Luckily, I had an hour or so after Sophie's presentation to do as much street style as possible. 

Regarding current trends in London, I saw plenty of fur - real and fake, colour popping, LOTS of Creeper shoes/Docs and women were beginning to resemble Rooney Mara from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo more and more as my time there progressed. 

What is my verdict? Fur - great, so long as it is fake, love colour so colour 'popping' and blocking was pleasant to see, I purchased my own pair of Creepers as I was so inspired by the girls rocking them in London - despite being initially wary of them so they are a definite hit with me (even though they've been around for a while), and finally, the Rooney Mara look works with some girls, but its certainly not a trend I'll be following any time soon!











Loved the statement jewellery and accessories I saw at Somerset House, especially the man with red fur throw. His embellished gloves were amazing. Still seeing a lot of dip dyes which I thought would have died out by now (no pun intended). I think the whole dip dye trend is becoming a bit overdone, but saying that, I really liked the vibrant dip dyes I saw. My favourite item of clothing I witnessed was the girl above with the jellyfish print leggings. I love how she's played them down with a casual ensemble. 

I can't wait to go back to Somerset House this September to see the latest trends. It's fascinating how I subconsciously interpreted what other people wore. Looking back at a lot of the clothes I purchased in London, its clear that I was influenced by those around me.
