Catch up on day two at London Fashion Week

Yesterday had to be one of the best days on the LFW schedule for celeb-spotting. Julien Macdonald’s show is beloved by some of TV’s most recognisable faces - the cast of MIC are a permanent fixture, we spotted Olympic diver Tom Daley in the crowd and the catwalk was, of course, opened by Insta-star Hailey Baldwin. While over at House of Holland, edgy it-girls Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof were holding court.

             
Always a red carpet favourite, the Julien Macdonald can be relied upon to serve up the single most unashamedly glam collection in the whole of the fashion week calendar. This time he was inspired by animal prints, with sequined zebra stripes and panels of high-shine mock-croc adorning the barely-there dresses.

If the Julien Macdonald show was all about celebrating the female form, then the outfits at Gareth Pugh were all about subverting it. With exaggerated power shoulders and dramatic circular head-dresses covered in bold Beetlejuice-style stripes and gold accents, the show had the feel of an Eighties/sci-fi mash-up. Frances Bean Cobain looked on from the front row, dressed head-to-toe in monochrome stripes that matched the models’ outfits.

At the House of Holland show, the bold looks continued but this time with a more gritty street style aesthetic. Think fishnet tops dotted with embroidered patches and paired with supersize hoop earrings. The designer made a strong case for raiding your own wardrobe as he clashed gingham prints with lace and florals - we’ve certainly got some of those at home.
