Velvet and jewel encrusted tones are the words that came to mind after viewing the introduction of the Michael van der Ham AW11 collection. The luscious colours and deep rich tones were reflected in the draped velvet mini and mid length dresses, as well as asymmetric tops with voluminous trouser combinations; mustard, cobalt blue and plum being key colours in the pieces.

London Fashion Week - Feb 2011 reflected the usual quirky, cutting-edge collections that it is known for. Creativity was bursting at the banks of the river Thames. The Goldsmith's and St Martin's fashionistas were out in full force banging down the door of every show.
Fashion Thirst always features a catwalk review on PROPHETIK designs by Jeff Garner from Tennessee in America. Jeff's designs are not only unpredictable and thought-provoking but they promote sustainability and ECO Fashion. His Artist Wonderment designs started with the statement "Renaissance is not a rebirth as one implies" . We then saw footage of Jeff presenting natural dying processes on-screen. His main theme for this year was the awareness of how clothes are REALLY being produced which got us thinking. Jeff Garner is promoting a fashion lifestyle brand not just a collection.

| Charlotta Actis Barone at the Fashion Mode show |

It was quite a show from Charlotta Actis Barone at the Fashion Mode show. The frosty makeup and huge lion mane locks had me step into Narnia for this enchanting display. In bold coloured and huge tulle skirts and ice-maiden dresses, the models strutted down the runway with drama.
I particularly loved the faux fur trims dotted about the collection from hoods to hand muffs to winter white stoles studded with pearlised poppers. The Aztec tattoo style bodysocks the models (and Barone herself) wore were an unexpected treat; and the finale dress was a winner –a sumptuous red strapless gown which tumbled into in a gorgeous fishtail.
Barone certainly knows how to put on a crowd pleasing catwalk, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next season.
