London Fashion Week is now underway and thanks to A La Mode, we’ll be seeing it through the eyes of the emerging designer.
Berit New York showed on opening night, alongside 2009 New Zealand Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the Year, Annah Stretton. Having shown at the last four Australian Fashion Weeks, Stretton is consistently re-inventing herself and bringing fresh and stunning feminine looks to the runway.
Day two showings (2/19) include self-taught Romanian designer Belinda Liu who returns to LFW with her classic feminine designs. Liu launched her self-titled label ‘Belinda Liu’ in 2009 and has since successfully shown at Bucharest Fashion Week and last season as part of the A La Mode International London Fashion Week Show with her collection entitled “La Marquise de Sade”. The line was based around the concept of a modern Marie Antoinette and shown to a packed house of industry professionals. She returns this season with much anticipation.
Ugandan designer Gloria Wavamunno draws much inspiration from her heritage. Wavamunno confirms the pulse of London Fashion Week is like no other and focuses much support on new designers, stating ‘London Fashion Week has a vibe whereby anything goes.’ The Autumn/Winter 2011 collection will be shown at the Charing Cross Hotel, The Strand on Saturday 19 February 2011 from 7.30pm.
