Get Waisted produce beautiful evening and party dresses, corsets, ball gowns and bridal wear.
Toni Pickles is the founder and designer at Get Waisted. She originally trained on Savile Row and her signature item was the bespoke corset before branching out into a full range.
This professional tailoring background can be seen in all Toni's creations. Get Waisted designs frequently take their inspiration from an age of elegance - reflecting 1950's tailoring and silhouettes. Toni believes in creating designs that complement and enhance the feminine form. She likes to use sumptuous, flowing fabrics combined with a sophisticated approach to draping. The end result is a clothing range that simultaneously makes an impact and leaves the wearer feeling really special.
Toni says: " I was excited to have the opportunity to showcase some of my latest collection at the closing party for London Fashion Week held at The Cuckoo Club. It is always fantastic to be able to get the models 'down and dirty' with the public in a live environment".

Taking their cues from modern architecture, Peter Pilotto and his partner Christopher De Vos, presented a collection of their signature prints and geometric shapes. Blurry graphic prints were constructed around the body with panels of metallic material, coloured leather and fur. Tailoring was strong in cropped tweed jackets and high waist trousers which were finished off with a fox stole. Watch a video of the collection above.
Slithering onto the runway were the reptilian-creations dreamed up by Basso & Brooke. Inspired by recent trips to the Silk Routes of Uzbekistan, Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke resulted in a patchwork of digital prints combining snakeskin, feather, chain and wood motifs. Draped dresses were layered with caramel-coloured and fur-collared coats, or over clashing print leggings.
Marios Schwab's Austrian heritage was clearly the inspiration behind his A/W 2010-11 collection. Reworking the classic pinafore, Schwab unveiled a series of mute-coloured pieces comprising of white collarless shirts, knit dresses, cropped jackets and bib dresses laced in front with eyelets. Rich colours in plum, dark raspberry, teal and purple gave warmth to his collection, while Schwab once again succeeded at adding a modern twist to the most simplest of items. Watch a video of the show above.
The scene was set for a world first last night. A-listers crammed the front row as Christopher Bailey unveiled his A/W 2010 collection for Burberry Prorsum, which was broadcast live in 3D around the globe. With lots of khaki and military-inspired references, Bailey relied heavily on the classic wool-lined aviator jacket. In contrast, he added brightly-coloured ruched skirts and dresses in fuchsia, electric blue and olive green. Burberry's iconic trench was also given the aviator treatment with oversized shearling collars, matched with thigh-high leather boots and slouchy clutch and basket handbags.
It was a bumper of a FROW at the Burberry Prorsum A/W 2010 presentation last night. It seems that Christopher Bailey can really pull a celeb crowd these days with (above, from left to right) Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart and Claire Danes all grouped together to watch his show which was broadcast live in 3D (but more on that later!). Other famous faces spotted in the audience included Anna Wintour, Sir Philip Green, Olivia Palermo, Twiggy, and Rachel Zoe. Phew - what a show!
Stay tuned for more runway coverage from Burberry Prorsum's show... coming right up!
Christopher Kane got a little dark with his autumn/winter 2010 collection this week. The Scottish designer cited juvenile delinquents as the influence for his latest creations which were heavy on the black leather and lace. Embroidered flowers covered almost every piece in the line, which seemed to be in sharp contrast to the patent mini dresses and kilts. According to Kane, he wanted the flowers to be "a bit perverse and ironic." Mission accomplished. See more images after the jump...
