London Fashion Week A/W 2010: Twenty8Twelve

Twenty8Twelve Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010

Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah unveiled their autumn/winter 2010 collection for Twenty8Twelve on Sunday. The boho-loving pair mixed and matched things up a bit with an eclectic range of velvet dresses, suits and skirts. With this they added varying layers of denim, army-style khakis, chunky woollen cardigans, cotton maxi dresses and rock-chic turbans.

London Fashion Week A/W 2010: Matthew Williamson

Matthew Williamson Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010After all the dark and Gothic shows we've seen so far this week, it was down to Matthew Williamson to provide a welcome splash of colour -- which he did with his usual enthusiasm and vigour. 

As well as the abstract printed dresses in vibrant colour, he showcased a selection of heavily textured tunics and blouses, high-fitting skirts and colourful outerwear. All the pieces were unmistakably William though, with a light and frivolous touch, even in the heavier coats and jackets.

London Fashion Week: Vivienne Westwood A/W 2010

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010Always a talking point at LFW, Vivienne Westwood's Red Label show hit the London runway on Sunday evening. The clothes were distinctively Dame Viv, with some interesting on-trend twists. We particularly loved the stiff skirts, which gave striking definition to the outfits and showed off the models' impressive thigh-length boots. The designer stayed true to her punk roots, with anarchic tartan and graffiti-style t-shirts elsewhere.

London Fashion Week A/W 2010: PPQ

PPQ Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010

As the last show on Saturday evening, PPQ was more than prepared to get the party started. In a sea of mostly black and gold, Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker rolled out the hits in in array of power-style dressing, super-mini dresses and patent platforms which stood out due to their giant bunny bows. Coats ranged from '80s-style gold trenches to giant oversized warmers. But it was PPQ's party frocks, for which they are best known, that stole the show - in particular a black velvet bodice number with gold brocade detailing (pictured above).

London Fashion Week A/W 2010: House of Holland

House of Holland Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010

The slogan t-shirt is back! Henry Holland returned to what first propelled him into the spotlight by bringing back the slogan tee during his A/W 2010-11 presentation. With a tonne of Eighties references thrown into the mix, House of Holland's latest offering was a candy-coloured treat that attracted London's it-kids - Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof and Little Boots - to the front row. The collection featured sportswear such as striped cardigans, bandana-printed skinny trousers, sheepskin jackets, knee socks and fluffy jumpers.

London Fashion Week A/W 2010: Mark Fast

Proving that he isn't just a one-trick pony, Mark Fast turned his ability to dress women of varying sizes up a notch on the weekend. The knitwear designer once again employed size 14 models Crystal Renn and Harley Morley for his autumn/winter 2010-11 show. This time, his body-hugging creations were inspired by Art Deco sculptor Dimitri Chiparus, resulting in draped stretchy pieces which twisted and knotted in sections. There was also some of his trademark cobweb designs, as well as flashes of colour including orange, bright red, pink and khaki. Watch a video of the show above.

London Fashion Week: Fashion East

Fashion East Runway - LFW Autumn/Winter 2010Fashion East's show this morning thrilled and dazzled onlookers with a cyber-punk themed show set to pounding industrial techno. Models pounded the catwalk in thight-length leather boots as they showed off the garments, which included revealing fishnet tops, skin-tight leather hot pants and trench coats for the boys.

Styling for the show was particularly wild, with dazzling synthetic hair falls, exaggerated trompe l'oeil eye makeup and Dracula-style rounded shades. The design collective behind the show, hailing from London's brick lane has become known for its alternative focus in recent years, and is pushing forward many once underground styles right into the heart of the fashion world.
