Kinder Aggugini

Playing the name game in London is far from easy: So many cool young designers, so many unusual names, and only a week to make sense of them all. It’s largely due to the aversion many Brit design talents have to being crafted into the sort of the fashion celebs we adore stateside. No worries; the clothes spoke volumes for themselves, as London dialed down the quirked, and turned out one of the most sophisticated seasons in recent years. See for yourself!

New show reviews and galleries are in from London! Check out Kinder Aggugini, Daks, and Margaret Howell.

The Kinder Aggugini ticket promised us a “typically eccentric and gothic forest” setting on the top floor of the newly opened ME Hotel. We didn’t see much evidence of set design (bar a few ivy plants) but the show definitely had an interesting theme. Aggugini took inspiration from two young British girls who in the 1980’s forged evidence of fairies in their back garden and gained nationwide fame.

Couldn't make it to London fashion week? NBD. It's already in full swing and we've got you covered so you can watch (most of) it from the comfort of your couch. So what are you waiting for? Grab some ice cream, put on your best pair of Louboutins with your Target pajamas, and open up your lap top to sit front row to take in London's finest on live stream. Bonus point for those who wake up early enough to catch all of them!

New York fashion week is now a fond memory, but our fashion month coverage is still going strong. We saw our first shows in London today! Check out Kinder Aggugini's sweet girls on a sea holiday, Markus Lupfer's icy queens, and Dion Lee's ultra-modern neoprene and leather.

The Clothes: Sweet and girly. Think ginghams, map prints, and Liberty-esque nautical prints all on a peaceful cream background. Pinafores, paper bag w

“Dolly Parton mashed with Jay-Z”, read the show’s notes. Our version reads something like: the O.K. Corral has met its contemporary and much wittier match. Cowboy-on-horse prints, eclectic 10-gallon hats, urbanized Doc Martens and a soundtrack of hip-hop classics including a funky version of "Sweet Home Alabama", all served to drive the point home. The models, fitted with gold tassled, loafer-ized Docs, paraded down the runway in dramatic duster coats accessorized with punchy pink wide-brimmed hats. At one point a rogue photographer over-stepped her bounds and jetted out onto the catwalk, but the scene-stealing cocktail dresses came out at the perfect time, quelling the commotion in the photographer’s pit. The collection was a spunky and playful color blast of deep forest greens, rich cherry reds, bubblegum pinks and amped-up periwinkles anchored with soft grays, earthy sandstone and eggplant purples. But it was Aggugini’s nod to a more romantic side of the good ol’ Wild West days that had everyone smiling. (We're not sure how the models could smile with those gold glitter-crusted lips, though.)
