Emerging Fervour

I loved William Ames’s SS11 collection shown during NYFW. I’ve been an avid follower of his collections for a couple of years now, and with most things – they get better with age. Focusing on the 90′s minimalism for a while – his peak was reached when showing his latest collection in New York. Check out some images taken from Style.com.

The obvious addition this season was a palette of bright colours coupled with textured materials (raw silk, linen and silk mesh), with a sandy taupe playing the role of the primary shade. Skirts, both long and and short and high on the waist were another dominant feature in this collection.

In love with this collection and I’m already getting excited to see his next collection.

Prose was created in 2008 by Sabine Egler and Miriam Lehle, both from Germany – and where Prose Studio is based…

I saw their work at On|Off during London Fashion week and just fell in love with the eclectic and bold designs and thought I’d share…

Block colours and striking prints ∨

Do my arms look big in these? ∨

I love these colours separately, but mixed together like this explosion is just beautiful! ∨

You can check out the rest of their collection on their site at www.prose-studio.com, join their Facebook page or contact them at info@prose-studio.com for further info on their collection.

I saw Simon Ekrelius during LFW at On|Off and had to get in touch with him for a piece on his latest collection. His AW 2010 women S T A R D U S T collection has been labeled an ‘architectural odyssey’ at On|Off…impressive

Stark cut silhouettes of textured silks. New collection features ‘star buy’ awarded signature pieces, strong tailoring and the expressive prints are what make this collection.

Materials used for this collection are a combination between silk marocaine, silk organza, yarn silk and signature prints designed on silk interlock and a couple of others.

The Lako Bukia catwalk followed the running theme of multi-purpose wear with a clever concept of using very long zips over key seams in order to create a different look when unzipped. Each model walked out first with the zips closed and then again with them open. It took me a couple of models to realise this was happening; the transformation on some pieces being more dramatic than others. Good concept and the long white dress was beautiful.

Words from the label:
“The concept behind this second collection from Lako Bukia is emotions and the divide between positive, kind emotions and the darker, evil side. Using colour, shape and textiles to represent these diverse elements of one’s emotional characteristics Lako Bukia has created a strong, innovative collection.

The monochrome palette delineates the separate emotions – expressed through a set of white shirts against the darker black dresses, trousers and skirts. Using materials of different textures the collection also incorporates a range of fabrics including wools for the sharper forms and accents of silks to soften the shapes. ”

Hello, my name is Claudia and I’m sort of a fashion victim. I don’t know the difference between Haute couture and prêt á porter (and I’m sure there is one). My trainers are probably the most expensive and fashionable things I’m wearing. I’d rather have band names than brand names on my shirts. And when I talk about seasons I mean something you can watch on the telly. So you’re maybe asking yourself why someone like me is allowed to write for a fashion blog. And you absolutely have a point there. The explanation is simple: No, I didn’t hack into the blog, I usually write about music for Emerging Fervour.

But then there was last week, I mean THE last week. The London Fashion Week. And yes, I went there. I went to the London Fashion Week. And here is the story of my adventure: lost in fashion.

It’s fantastic that we have fabulous photographer friends who help us out with these amazing catwalks we were invited to. We went to the Ada Zanditon show on Tuesday Feb 23rd, and I took my friend Iman with me. She takes really good photos and has one of those fancy Nikon cameras…proper professional we are.

After waiting around in a massive 3-columned queue for about an hour, we finally moved and slowly creeped towards the doors to the huge room. A blessing in disguise, the back row gave Iman the opportunity to clamber onto the ledge behind her and take some nice shots. You can take a look at Flickr for lots more photographs of the show.

Please note: No one was injured as a result of taking these photographs

I really like the jackets, I like the whole over-sized idea and a lot of my favourite jackets are BIG. I also love the accents of bright colours – it’s such a refreshing thing to see after the wave of darkness throughout LFW this February. Don’t get me wrong, dark is good – but colour is priceless.

After Ada Zanditon, my photographer friend Iman and I went walking towards Somerset House to take some more pictures of people…These and the rest will be up on Flickr tomorrow so make sure you check.

We know we have some pretty cool shots and we’re always happy to share, but please contact us before and name Emerging Fervour as your source, and Iman Simon as the photographer.

The anticipation for this catwalk really heightened when I experienced the full force of the LFW pecking order but when I managed to get in along with the rest of “the hopefuls” I was SO glad I swallowed all pride and waited in the naughty corner.

Have a look at some pictures from the Kinder Aggugini AW 10 show I saw on Saturday 20th. Check out our Flickr for lots more images of the show.

Emerging Fervour were invited to see the live Harriett’s Muse photoshoot during London Fashion Week A/W 10 at the Freemasons Building on Sunday. It was pretty packed…

Unfortunately I didn’t see much as I was wedged in the middle of some pretty big photographers – luckily for us though, Mindy our photographer managed to squeeze her way to the front to take some pretty good shots of the photoshoot…Check out our favourites – as always, the rest can be seen on Flickr.

Oh look it’s Miss Anderton ∨

A little about Harriett’s Muse:

Famed for its sensuous yet traditional tailored corsets and extravagant party frocks, Harriet’s muse, born from the mischievous minds of Cheryl and Craig, encapsulates alluring fabrics with thespian inspiration to create a collection fit for any ball.

Sorry we don’t have your names – but feel free to send us your details – you have our cards!
