London Fashion Week
London Fashion Week saw Paul Smith present his SS17 Women's Collection at 7 Handyside Street. The huge space was softened with wild flowers sprouting from floors and guest seating areas.
The floral prints appeared hand-drawn or woven onto the cloth, cementing a focus on craftsmanship and creation. Here are some of my photo highlights from the show.
Earlier this year, the British Fashion decided on a new central location for its September showcase of London Fashion Week: Brewer Street car park in Soho. Previously based in "the tents", as they are known, in the courtyard of Somerset House, the BFC hopes that the move will "increase its footprint across the capital". It was at this new venue that I photographed Eudon Choi's SS16 collection, before venturing to the incredibly dramatic Banqueting House for Giles SS16.
A new show for me this LFW was the presentation of Alexander Lewis which took place at 62 Buckingham Gate. The geometric shapes of the royal blue set design complimented the delicate outfits perfectly. As the show started, a light drizzle began to fall outside, adding to the atmosphere beautifully.
London Fashion Week is fast and furious but that's part of it's appeal. The backstage cram and the rush to get everything ready for that 6 minute strut down the catwalk can be stressful, but mostly it's a lot of fun. Armed with my cameras, I quietly snoop in the hope that I'll blend in, privy to split second moments to snap before they're gone.
I've shot the last four LFWs and every show is so unique, so expertly crafted, I never fully know what to expect.
Here are some of my favourite shots from this season's London Fashion Week featuring: Eudon Choi AW15, a private party for Delfina Delettrez & GILES AW15.
GILES AW15 was probably my favourite show to date. Set in Central Saint Martins Art college, this gothic-Georgian fairy tale fashion show came complete with taxidermy and carnivorous plants. Cara Delevigne took seat next to Gwendoline Christie as Anna Cleveland totally stole the show with her ultra-glam moves as the show came to a close. I've never heard so much whooping and clapping for a single model before.
