LFW Spotlight Part 2 - PPQ, Huishan Zhang and Sophia Webster

Well the wonder that is London Fashion Week draws to a close tomorrow, but there has been so much I have loved this year. I have high hopes for a super stylish Autumn/Winter season and I have a list as long as my arm of goodies I want to share with you...

In this, the second part of my LFW Spotlight blogs, I show you three of my favourites. PPQ, Huishan Zhang and Sophia Webster.

First up, it Huishan Zhang.

As graduate of Central Saint Martins, Huishan worked at Dior whilst studying and launched his label upon graduation. I love his chic tailoring and East meets West fusion. You can really see the crisp and elegant Dior influences and this 2013 collection is beautiful. Luxe lace meets strong geometrics and there is a heavy 1960s influence throughout.

Here's my Top 3 pieces...

Next we have some glorious colour pops from PPQ.

Again, I've probably picked this collection out because of the strong 1960s influences but I just love the lines, the fabrics and feathers and the bright colour palette. Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker of PPQ look at the surrealist world and power dressing for this collection, and it gets a huge thumbs up from me...

Here's my Top 3 pieces...

Finally, one of my favourite presentations of the whole of LFW came from Sophia Webster today.

Sophia was trying to find a way to bring the fun and colour of SS into the AW 2013 collection and boy has she delivered! I love the enchanted garden setting, unicorn hair and her mix of pretty polka dots, ditsy heart print, foiled metallics and shimmering brights. It's divine...

Here comes my Top 3 (and this was a hard decision!)
