The first show I went to was YII, followed by Niro Wang and Mimpikita; however my favourites were Teresita Orillac and of course, the one and only Kristian Aadnevik. After the first three presentations - considering the time gap between those and the last two - I pretty much spent the rest of the day having a good ol' chat with my favourites Adela and Damaris from TheGoalDiggers, catching up over coffee and yummy Italian food.
Carrying on with my latest 70's obsession, I chose a brown suede jacket, flared jeans and a pair of clogs. My feet were absolutely killing me from the day before, but I did survive this time as well ahaha.
The highlight of the day for me was the Kristian Aadnevik presentation. Absolutely gorgeous setting, with equally beautiful designs and some killer heels.
However, my absolute favourite creations of the season have to be the dreamy dresses by Teresita Orillac.
So breathtakingly beautiful, I became speechless! Considering my utter obsession with peacocks, you can imagine the excitement I felt when seeing the models dressed in those amazing prints and silky fabrics. They all looked like they were wrapped in magic, coming from a fairyland.
The show started with a short film, flying over lush green landscapes and then cutting to close-ups of peacocks, blinking into the camera. When the models came out, the catwalk was suddenly alive with vivid turquoises, vibrant greens and vivacious lilacs, transporting us from subdued London to the exotic Panama rain forest. A very feminine, elegant, luxurious collection, in which I could imagine myself all summer long.

The Kristian Aadnevik SS16 presentation took place in an opulent historical setting of a grandiose library at One Whitehall Place. The use of natural, pastel, delicate, light and romantic colours such as light greens, peach, pink, light blue, gold, pearl and black, as well as floral motif designs transformed the catwalk into an imaginary rose garden. The fabrics were delicate and elegant, gliding gracefully behind the models as they walked the runway almost mimicking a flower being ruffled in a light breeze. At times the looks were so daring the models seemed like they were wearing almost nothing but a thin haze of delicate lace or smooth chiffon in soft shades of white or nude, with occasional black, resembling luxurious lingerie. A Beautiful, show with an interesting context!

... aand that's a wrap for my time at London Fashion Week this season (yes I know, there were two more days, but I had to miss a few shows in order to recover haha). This season has definitely been a bit of a weird one; the new location has shaken things up a lot but it was a lot of fun to experience the events in a whole new light. À bientôt, #LFW!
