WEARING:  Zara trench coat & skirt New Look 70's sandals  (similar here ) vintage blouse *Meet my fellow fashionista, Adela from TheGoalDiggers . xx* We started the second day of LFW with a lovely breakfast at Soho House where, in an extravagant display of femininity, Hema Kaul showcased her SS16 collection.  Inspired by Japanese elements, the sheer yet stiff organza and origami techniques gave her creations an ultra-feminine aesthetic.  I couldn’t help but admire the mix of traditional with futuristic and this interesting choices of fabrics that she used. Combined with her use of pastel colours and muted tones of blues and deep purples really made these soft pieces perfect for a glamorous or sophisticated occasion.  Hema Kaul dazzled us as usual with her portrayal of beauty and elegance.

The art deco scenery welcomed me into her fairytale world. The SS2015 Couture Collection was all about velvet & silk fabrics, feathers, hand embroidered petite details, delicate accessories..all gathered into tangible magic. A gorgeous collection, exhaling great finesse, from one gorgeous woman!  ***  *** I  also saw  Mark Mitanovski  present his painstakingly intricate Autumn Winter 2015 collection (my favourite show this season, I must confess haha), through Fashion Scout.   As the lights went out and only the name of the designer was shining bright at the end of the catwalk, the darkness fell upon the audience followed by a haunting music.
