Katrantzou’s Tribal Beat – Mary Katrantzou continued her use of colorful prints and architectural inspired shapes for her fall 2012 collection presented during London Fashion Week. After last season’s garden prints, autumn appeared to be more focused on the abstract with an opening of grid like patterns which progressed into something more primal, tribal even. Katrantzou did not shy away from color and showcased a range of hues such as emerald, canary yellow, ruby and sapphire blue. Although still playing with proportion, fall’s silhouettes were more tamed than usual–offering flattering shapes with a structural twist.

Giles’ innovative take on classic shapes such as the hoop skirt or fish tail dress offered a thrilling view of the upcoming season.

Kane’s Darkly Beautiful Fall – Christopher Kane seemed to be in a dark mood for his fall 2012 collection presented on Monday during London Fashion Week. Opening with pinstripe dresses in black and white, it set the tone for a gloomy color palette of plum, burgundy, royal blue and black. A certain change from spring’s neon hues, a dark scheme did not necessarily mean that the collection was missing exciting details with deep necklines, leopard spots, innovative textiles and eastern inspired prints. For warmer pieces, Kane looked towards heavy knitted sweaters, knee-length coats and furry jackets.
