Victoria Hill Style Editor of Side View Magazine also known as Mizz V and photographer Fab Pix, second day at London fashion week included some of the following:
ZOE JORDAN FASHION SHOW
The collection was very luxurious, with hints of femininity, with an effortless elegance. There was a mix of beautiful draped dresses that depicted the 30's glamorous era. "The interwar style is referenced throughout the collection; smoking clubs and martinis, picnics and punting, cricket being played out on the lawn. The garments are named after English country estates."

The colour palette consisted of rich browny/camel, ginger, nude, bronze, silver, olive, blue and dusky pink. The luxurious fabrics were a mix of layers of silks, tweeds and chiffons. The use of colours and textures created a sophisticated and sleek silhouette.

THE BELLE SAUVAGE FASHION SHOW
This was a very strong collection by the design duo Christian Neuman and Virginia Ferreira in their fourth season at London Fashion Week. The opening dress of the show definitely had the wow factor and was a very powerful dress. (shown below)

The collection was very stylised and screamed the signature look of a Belle Sauvage collection. The placement of prints on the pieces was well considered. Pastel shades of lilacs, yellows, mint greens and a magenta range were the colour palette on the fabrics. A subtle sense of colour blocking and vivid digital prints was portrayed throughout. The silhouette was a mix of sharp tailoring mixed with flowing cuts. A great mix of fabrics such as leathers, pleats of soft light silks layered up with heavier contrasting luxurious silks, chiffons with prints and French embroidered tulle.

The collection on the whole was styled in a clean cut way, with perspex head pieces and sharp white ankle boots. Head pieces can be seen in this backstage picture below:

The magazine "Yeah It's Shyy" (as shown in the above picture), is derived of an interview with the blogger Cheyenne and a photo shoot which showcases Adidas sportswear modelled and styled by Cheyenne's natural, sports-influenced streetwear aesthetic mixed with her personality. This is shown in the tear out below:
