Typical Freaks at LFW

Bursting with colour and oozing with rebellion, I attended the AW16 presentation of Typical Freaks' latest collection at London Fashion Week. The streetwear brand showcased their latest wears at the Freemason's Hall and used models cast through Instagram.

With evident punk inspiration, the collection experimented with the fusion of hardwearing custom Dr Martens with pastel clothing themes, playfully patterned and adorned with buckles, netting and patches.

In a unique showcase, the models stood in pyramid formation to display the clothing; pieces that defined a modern, modified look with retro grunge influences- a true delight for the eyes.

LFW: Street Style at Burberry AW16

Last week I headed to the decadent Kensington Gardens to see the beautiful people outside Burberry. Spotted a few famous faces too!

Bizarre Beauty at LFW

Toga's Brushed Brows
Taking the classic brushed brow to the extreme, Toga used a verticle motion to increase their volume for maximum impact.  

AF Vandervorst's Clown Eyes
An impact for the eyes, AF Vandervorst's clown-inspired beauty bizarrely juxtaposed the bandage masks the models wore on the catwalk. 

McQueen's Hair Jewels
Because the odd bobby pin just won't suffice, Alexander McQueen decked their models out in an array of embellishments strewn across messy up-dos.

Zandra Rhodes 60s Eyes
A dreamy mix of baby blue and pink, 60's eye looks reached a whole new level of psychadelia with Zandra Rhodes' models. 

Edda Gimnes Cartoon Brows
Juevinile scribbled brows to centre stage at Edda Gimnes' collection that showcased sketch-esque pieces. 

James Kelly's Halloween Horror
Indescribable and undeniable disturbing, James Kelly's models might have been wearing normcore balck but their faces depicted something altogether frightful.

Ashley Isham's Filigree Face
Midas makeup is a popular one with the runways but Ashley Isham took a different approach. Looking half masquerade mask, half tattoo, the gold detailing was decadent.

Ashish's Lip Must Match Wig Rule
An unspoken rule no-one has heard of, Ashish went matchy matchy with statement afros mimicking the array of colours the models wore on their lips.

Street Style at LFW

Fashion Week has finally arrived in London and I popped down to the Soho location to scout out some fresh street style. From spring pops of colour to hand-painted jeans and romantic florals, an eclectic mix of trends dominated the first day of the style event.
