London Fashion Week offer plus size and more

London Fashion Week is always entertaining and often dazzling, and the latest production also proved to be a lot of fun. This week’s 2011 spring/summer showing featured some of the most outrageously appealing designs ever, with Giles Deacon’s pink prom dresses and plus-size models in the forefront.

Giles is the name of the line, and the man’s lack of pretension and flair for ingenuity turned the catwalk into a delightful parade of designer cartoons. His models looked healthy and happy as they strutted around in floral prints, pink crystal fringe and feather hats.

He also incorporated googly-eyed animals and sticking plaster prints, corset-top evening gowns and pompoms. There seems to be no place Giles Deacon won’t go, and he can take you right along with him. His finale was a long elaborate gown worn by the 71-year-old ‘60’s supermodel “Veruschka”, and she looked just fabulous.

A bit more demure and equally appealing was the new line from Erdem Moralioglu,

who has developed his signature designs along the lines of high-collar shirts, flowing skirts and lace-from-leather patterns, amongst other innovations. Lace was featured a lot in romantic white dresses as well as brilliant colours and patterns in long dresses and shifts. The combinations of patchwork, prints, lace and appliqué were inevitably eye-catching.

Christopher Kane gave another outstanding performance with his traditional and rather sporty (v-necks and pleated skirts) base, highlighted to the max with colours and textures that re-invent the whole era. The collection had the look of ‘40’s and 50’s styles updated to ultra-modern and very bold, designed so that the clash is resounding and irresistible.
