We started Day 1 of London Fashion Week at On/Off where Ada Zanditon was showing her A/W 2011/12 collection ‘THE CRYOFLUX’.

Zanditon has been going from strength to strength and the venue was packed as her film was shown and you could feel the buzz about her new collection.

This season she’s taken inspiration from the extreme climate of Antarctica, the theme can be discovered in the engineered print of the Antarctic; the colour palette of navy, marine, flame and dark flame; the fluidity and structural elements of the fabrics as well as the exaggerated and asymmetrical lines of the garments.

The collection features a range of dresses, from tailored influences to fluid looser asymmetric shift dresses. True to form, Zanditon has included a selection of sensational showpiece dresses, inspired by the captivating natural formations of the Antarctic broken, frozen waterfalls.

The Jewellery, which once again sees Zanditon collaborating with Luca Romanyi, features printed tile, silver chain, black vegetable-tanned leather and metal in a range of geometric shapes. One word: WICKED!

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.

So I thought I’d try and get your attention with this massive image, taken during S/S 10 back in September. As I said in my previous post, we’ve just been really overwhelmed with the support we’ve been getting and everyday we’re adding to our things to cover. So I’ve mentioned ON|OFF, which we’re planning on covering extensively, but there’s also Somerset House Exhibitions – which is just my favourite… it’s a place where lots of fabulous designers will be showcasing their collections including accessories, ready-to-wear, installations, Headonism (the millinery exhibition), the Lingerie Boudoir, the NEWGEN exhibition, estethica, the new Digital Presentation Space, Made by Scandinavians showcase and a whole load more.

For a full list of the designers exhibiting at Somerset House, check the Exhibitors section on the LFW site.

Righty… enough with the small talk and time for my top 5 exhibitors at Somerset House this season. As we’ve already covered BodyAmr and Beautiful Soul, we needn’t declare our love all over again…they know we love them!

We’ll also be covering the Ada Zanditon catwalk during LFW – can’t wait!

Seeing as we’re planning on seeing almost everything LFW has to offer for A/W 2010, we’re on a military schedule. I’m keeping my mouth shut on the details until I write about it BUT what I will say is that we’ve been given some fantastic catwalks to cover at Somerset House and Vauxhall Fashion Scout, which is so exciting and incredible – seriously…we’re so grateful, thank you!

On our lists of things to do, there are the exhibitors at Somerset House (check tomorrow’s feature on this) and the ON|OFF exhibition at Victoria House. I’ve picked out my top designers exhibiting at ON|OFF – but I’ll probably be lured in by a few others when I’m there.

Here are my top 5:

Everyone is gearing up for this month’s London Fashion Week. The designers are making the finishing touches to their collection, the exhibitors are making sure they have enough marketing material and business cards to hand out, the buyers are finalising their ‘who to see’ plan and the bloggers are scheduling their weeks in the run up to, through and past fashion week.

With so much to cover your first port of call must be exploring the designer exhibitions at Somerset House and the ON|OFF Section at Victoria House. Back in September, we covered BodyAmr, Kron by KronKron, Beekay, Beautiful Soul, Rachael Cassar, Rocio Bags and a few others from the exhibitions and this season we’re planning on covering a lot more!
