Huishan Zhang Spring 2014: Dressed Up Practicality

London-based Brazilian designer Lucas Nascimento showed one of the only truly minimalist collections at London Fashion Week. In fact, it was so mini
London went beyond the call of duty with Heathers references to so-bad-it's-good rebel chic.
London Fashion Week was a whirlwind--and we're not just saying that. It felt way longer than a few days and not because it wasn't fun, but because so much happened.
The Meadham Kirchhoff show, which effectively closed London Fashion Week, was a bit stressful. The designers set their latest collection on a runway
Simone Rocha's approach to fall 2013 was soft, sweet, and very pink and pretty. So, in turn, she went in a tougher, darker direction for spring. And it was well worth the risk: this collection felt even stronger than last season's (which was a pretty big hit).
Welp, another one bites the dust. London Fashion Week came to a close yesterday--which means it's time to pick our favorite collections from the week.
High-end knitwear purveyor Pringle of Scotland debuted its first collection under new head designer Massimo Nicosia in London this week--and he certainly didn't slack off in his attempt to create something relevant while keeping in mind Pringle's centuries of history.
Erdem is always one of London's most hotly anticipated shows. As the brand has grown an incredible amount in recent years, the production has gotten
Giles was a highlight of London Fashion Week, as he often is, for designer Giles Deacon's uniquely dramatic and surprise-filled wares.
Marios Schwab's designs may feel a bit serious and safe in comparison to London's other buzzy, carefree daredevils, but his spring 2014 show was far from forgettable.
Once again, Jonathan Saunders's collection was all about color, but not in the way you might expect.
It's not often a fashion week presentation takes place in a library, especially one with such a rich history. But Dominic Jones is not one to follow the rules, and thus he presented his spring offerings in the Linnean Society library. The revered space was the perfect setting for a collection based on the natural world--it's where Charles Darwin first announced his theory on evolution. Jones explained, "I felt such a presence when I first entered, and this collection ties in perfectly. It was the perfect time to show here."
There was something magical about yesterday's Burberry show (my first ever). The transparent tent in Kensington Gardens felt like an oasis in the middle of a day plagued by rain--which stopped just in time for the show--and hellish traffic throughout the city. The clothes themselves were equally pleasant and day-improving. Even if it's a bit predictable for spring, who can help but swoon over oodles of pastel and lace? I can't.
Colored glass wall panels erected throughout the basement venue for Peter Pilotto signaled that we were in for a bright collection.
Last season, Christopher Kane told reporters that his very recent investment by luxury conglomerate Kering (then PPR) didn't have any influence on h
Although the audience arrived in a grump to Antonio Berardi's early-morning show, the clothes more than made up for the inconvenience. The show notes told us to expect “a more laissez-faire attitude” than previous seasons. This was quite a surprise from the man who’s best known for his tiny, form-fitting dresses, who showed three-foot-long crystal trains on capes last season.
Sophia Webster's spring 2014 presentation was titled Supa Dupa Fly--a term you might use to describe Missy Elliott, or a wonderfully light-hearted and offbeat collection of shoes inspired by flying insects. Webster's wonderland of a presentation more closely resembled the latter.
The generous front row gift at Roksanda Ilincic today was a colorful set of Sennheiser headphones, a fitting match for an incredibly cool collection. The designer has really elevated her skills in the last couple of seasons, and today's stellar show firmly cemented her status as one of London's best designers, alongside her peers Christopher Kane and Erdem.
Topshop took last season's '90s-inspired looks in a more carefree, unconventional direction for a collection inspired by "where the wild heady days and endless freedom of summer see the days and nights all roll into one."
After a day of trudging to shows in the rain, it was a welcome relief to step into a cozy, cool teenage bedroom--the setting of Markus Lupfer’s pres
There were puppies on the runway at Mulberry--a very cute idea, but one that's maybe a bit overdone at this point. Still, you couldn't blame Emma Hi
