I've been craving to see a long, floaty, elegant, jaw-dropping gown during Fashion Week so it obviously comes as no surprise when I literally foamed at the mouth at the Jenny Packham show. The Central St. Martins graduate and British Bridal Dress Designer of the Year (2008) presented us with, as usual, some show-stopping numbers.
For autumn winter, Packham gave us sequins. Big, fat, shiny sequins. As well as the bling, there was huge bow obi belts which were uber-delicious, gorgeous owl print (see the statement dress of the collection below), over size yummy rectangular clutches and bat wing shapes.
Colour was splashed across the shiny black catwalk like an abstract painting, yet still hanging on to the class and femininity that Packham has always maintained and delivered. Red, orange, pink, yellow and the monochrome of the owl designs - autumn never looked better!
Look out for the 70s turquoise, draped low back sequined frock - a stand out for me.
Love you Ms. Packham.
