LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 2014 DAY 3

 Some of the highlights from Day 3 at London Fashion Week.
Much like last season this was another gorgeous collection by Temperley London. The detailing was beautiful and reminded me of a tapestry design. One of the stand out outfits to me consisted of a simple white shirt with what looked like a mixed skirt and jacket. The waist was cinched in with a thick black belt (far right). The addition of the thick scarf  made this look more Fall appropriate. The colors used were bright but toned down slightly by using pastels throughout many of the pieces. The shapes were kept fairly basic in their style and had a simple shape to them. Like always, Temperley offered a very pretty and feminine collection.

Topshop Unique is always one of my favorite collections each year. It's great to see the sorts of things that will be on the high street in the new season. It's also a collection that has a lot more wearable pieces in it. Everything featured in the outfits could definitely be worn. I really liked this collection, but did prefer A/W 2013. This collection featured a variety of pieces covering all sorts of clothing from dresses to trousers. One of my favorite pieces was a cropped fisherman jumper (far right). The color was gorgeous and it's also an incredibly versatile piece. Overall, Topshop was one of the best collections for looking at high street style and featured many pieces perfect to wear straight off the catwalk.

Tailoring and clean cut shapes were on offer today Vivienne Westwood. The collection was sophisticated and elegant. There were a nice mix of thick coats and jackets perfect for the colder days of fall. The mix of the dresses as well as the trousers made this collection one that was versatile and offered a lot of different options. The colors were kept very suitable to Fall with their being darks such as deep greens and navys.  One of my favourites was a thick knee-length coat with an over sized fit to with a simple double breasted design bringing it in at the waist.

The catwalk was awash with water at the Hunter show making it the perfect display for the brands waterproof shoes. This was the first time the brand has a produced a catwalk show. Hunter is known for its boots but this collection really drew me in with the presentation of their coats. I love the functionality as well as the style that was brought with these coats. There were a nice mix of brighter colors and darker more neutral ones. Overall, I think this was a nice first catwalk collection. It will be interesting to see whether they go down the brights routes if the produce a collection to show at the Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Week held this September.

Summary
Another great day featuring one of my favorite brands, Topshop Unique. It was also a first for Hunter showcasing on the catwalk for the first time. Lots of patterns were on show today with many collections not having a block colour style.
