Although I wasn’t in New York for fashion week, I watched many of the shows live streaming. If the shows weren’t live streaming, I’d catch up on the stills the next morning (thank goodness for technology today!). There were SO many collections that I loved (even if I wouldn’t wear the clothes myself, I can still appreciate a good collection). I was planning to do a detailed blog post about my favourite collections, but it would’ve taken me a billion years as I’ve been blogging for Vintage Lifestyle non stop (not to mention the latest issue being released this week). You know how it is. SO I decided to share with you the classic, basic fashions from the runway, from designers who I think do it best.

London Fashion Week starts today, and I’m pretty excited to see the collections (Mulberry, Mary Katrantzou, Moschino, Matthew Williamson, Peter Pilotto, Burberry Prorsum, Erdem, Christopher Kane, Tom Ford). I’ve always thought that British designers deserve more credit than they’re given. Although apparently there’ll be more US buyers at London Fashion Week this time. Hoooorah!

It’s really quite something watching the shows live streaming. You’re enthralled by the movement of the dresses, the details of the back of the dress, the slight glimpse of red-soled Louboutins, and Grace Coddington’s bright orange hair in front row.
