London Fashion Week, Autumn/Winter 2008: Luella

2

Valentine's Day has proved to be a big day for London Fashion Week from the opening show by Asprey to the closing with a highly anticipated return from Vivienne Westwood. The second show of the day was by celebrity-favourite Luella. This season was not short on support with an A-list front row including Kelly Osbourne and Lily Allen. When looking at Luella's Autumn/Winter collection it's easy to see why she's so popular. Her clothes are the perfect combination of feminine, fun and modern.

This season the collection was heavily inspired by folklore with cute embroidery detail, rainbow ribbon and puff sleeve shirts. Navy blue and orange were key colours proving that bright colours are here for another season and that navy is definitely the colour du jour. Body con dresses with ice skating skirts were made softer with bright coloured clogs and stitched patterns. Accessories were kept big with applique and metal hardware.

All the models had crimped hair and many wore pointed elf-like hoods. Does this herald the return of big hair?
