LONDON FASHION WEEK FEBRUARY 2017 MY FAVOURITES
London Fashion Week A/W 2017
February 16th-21st
February 16th-21st
The London Fashion Week's 5 day event was held at 5 different venues throughout the WC2 and SE1 postcodes. The event showcases the A/W 2017 collections from numerous established and up and coming designers. There is certainly some colourful, artsy and extravagant fashion items on show, but I am a fan of more classic, chic items, and below are some of my favourite collections and items from this event.
Teatum Jones
The catwalk shows got underway on Thursday 16th and Teatum Jones certainly impressed. Teatum Jones is named after designers Catherine Teatum and Rob Jones, and the designers were awarded the 2016 International Woolmark Prize for womenswear, as well as winning the UKFT Best Womenswear Designers of 2015.
What I like about these outfits from Teatum Jones, is how fantastic the fabrics are, and how well they transition from the catwalk to everyday looks. I love the skirt with large metal eyelets, tied together with a strip of black fabric. The off the shoulder top looks fantastic with the skirt, and I love how every look is teamed up with sexy christian louboutin high heels.
I really enjoyed the catwalk, the models looked fantastic in the clothes, everything was well presented. I also enjoyed the fact Teatum Jones hired models with disabilities showing the diversity, that lacks in the fashion world. Overall a very pleasing collection, to which I hope to see on net-a-porter and Harvey Nichols.
David Koma
David Koma's collection hit the catwalk on Sunday 19th around 5pm. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, and now based in London, David has already received recognition for his collections and was awarded a BFC Newgen Catwalk sponsorship for his Spring/Summer 2011 collection at London Fashion Week as well as being the Vauxhall Fashion Scout’s Merit Award winner in 2009.
When the first outfit hit the runway, I instantly knew I was going to love this collection. David is known for his sculpted dresses, and they all looked fantastic. I particularly like the paneled blue mosaic dress, with black tights, and custom Christian Louboutin ankle boots.
There is a different style of dress for everyone in this collection, from the more edgy leather and fur style, perfect for up-market bars and clubs, to the elegant long, silver and black mesh dress, which you could imagine being worn on the red carpet at film premiers by leading actresses. A fantastic collection I can't wait to see on celebrities in the upcoming months.

Christian Louboutin
When it comes to designer footwear, the first name on most lips is Christian Louboutin, and the famed french shoe designers stunning red soled shoes were on the catwalk as expected.
My favourites pieces were seen during Teatum Jones and David Koma's catwalk shows.
Teatum Jones collection was fantastic, which featured Mr.Louboutin's spring/summer 2017 styles the 'Kadreyana' caged black kid leather and the 'Andaloulou' in black woven leather. My favourites are the 'Kadreyana', I think they look amazing and I can see them being worn with so many different dress, both formal and street style.
The ankle and knee military style high heel boots for the David Koma catwalk show are my clear favourites. Christian Louboutin added custom additions to his 'Madobooty' style boots, by adding a silver-toned metal toe cap (as seen on his 'Djalouzi' court shoes) along with silver toned metal eyelets for the laces. The original 'Mado' ankle boots are amazing in all black leather, but I like this custom style even more, and I hope he releases them in one of his future collections.
Mr.Louboutin also created a custom 'Mado 120' knee high boot in black as well as a military inspired green. I really like these boots as they looked great with the black tights and added to David Koma's amazing collection. He also created a custom version of his 'Vera Fusa Chelsea boots' for the catwalk.

Sophia Webster
British footwear and accessories designer Sophia Webster put on a winter wonderland theme for her latest collection, turning the basement of Phonica Records shop an independent specialist in vinyl records, in Soho, into every young girl's dreams. Sophia, the winner of the FC Vogue Fashion Fund in 2016, stated in an interview the collection was inspired by her 2 year old daughter, which loves the hit Walt Disney film 'Frozen', and in particular Elsa 'Snow Queen of Arendelle'. The collection is great but one piece in particular stood out from the rest ... The 'Glacier' thigh high boots.
As a fan of classic styles, when it comes to Sophia Webster, I love her 'Coco Flamingo' and the 'Coco Crystal' classic pointed toe pumps but i tend to find her other styles a little to artsy for my taste. Even with my love for classic styles, the 'Glacier' thigh high boot is just a masterpiece, and you just can't keep your eyes of them.
These boots are stunning, featuring a metallic pointed toe and a clear block heel, the spectacular detailing in the chains and colourful ice crystal structures. During the facebook live stream, Sophia explained that each panel on the boots took 7 days to make, and she has still yet to determine a price for them, but with a smile on her face said 'expensive'. These boots truly are phenomenal.
