Maria Grachovel

After descending many stairs at the Savoy, I finally reached the room where the show was to take place. With an amazing view directly at the models entrance, I saw many combinations of style.
A muted palette of pewters, ivory, stone and navy took shape through silk asymmetric dresses with plenty of draping. Classic looks were included with straight cut front seamed trousers and tuxedo style blazers. A combination of fabrics were used such as tweed coats and trousers, fur collars on boiled wool coats in ivory and feather collars and cuffs to accessorize.
There was an androgynous feel to this collection and the model's slick back hair and black lipstick enforced this. Although elements of lace and the floaty dresses at the beginning of the collection, nude patent heels and cut out patterns revealing bits of flesh help to add femininity. Throughout the collection, despite overall being quite monochromatic, there were splashes of colour such as lime green and coral that took shape in the style of shift dresses. Maria played with all elements of the sleeve through this collection showing us that we can wear long, cropped, and sleeveless this winter. There were elements that showed us this collection was slightly 80's inspired yet jewellery combined with the palette brought it right back to aztec times!

Corrie Nielsen

I was really excited to see the new season from the latest Fashion Fringe winner and I wasn't disappointed.
Having worked at Westwood the aesthetic of having worked at the brand was clear.
Tie front skirts, voluminous pleated fronts with slim pencilled backs and slouchy trousers definitely had a couture look. Wools, leather and tulle ensure the collection had a deep richness and the full silhouettes were incredibly well sculptured.
Asymmetrical shapes were du jour and there was again a mix of 'mad men' styling. There was a perfect pencil skirt suit with a nipped waist with blue leather panelling, divine.
The show closed with several sculptured dresses. There were undercurrents of witch craft and folklore in the collection that were given a modern couture twist; give it a few seasons and our Corrie will be perfectly at home in Paris.

Jena Theo

Jena Theo, who have moved from BFC main tent to OnOff drew quite a crowd, they had to shut the doors as it was beyond full, even Fringe legend Colin McDowell was left without a seat.
It was a move away from last season in the sense the tropical ethnic vibe became total rock chick!
Grungy tones and styling meant that these models were seriously bad ass; if fashion did a rock festival it would look like this! Voluminous cuts, circle backs with draped armholes and deconstructed shirt dresses in a host of monochrome and sludge colours. A huge, puffa style parka that was well structured stood out as a highlight. I loved the mix of leather panels within garments to give the collection a modern edge and the drapery of the silks were so soft yet so structured. Incredibly strong work, from a duo that seem to grow season on season.

Paul Costelloe
I love that Paul always kicks of LFW and this year he was there again all guns blazing.
With a distinctly 60's theme there was a lot of swinging music to go with full swing coats that shot out straight from the shoulders.
Short, cute jackets with full skater skirts are back in for AW11 a look I am totally converted to. In bright tweed tones of reds, mustard, purple, turquoise and green the colours were muted yet bright. The wools looked luxurious and the cut and fullness was perfectly proportioned.
Metallic brocade (something Paul always done) was in 80's tones of green, red and pink, again using full swinging shifts as the silhouettes. I loved the mix of eras and the prim yet edgy vibe. It felt totally modern but with heritage twists, I'm starting to save up now!

The Wanted for RANDOM magazine

We shot The Wanted on 17/12/10, their last shoot before the Christmas break and there was plenty of Christmas cheer!

We shot in the Park Lane Hilton in this fantastic suite!

The boys were absolute sports, dressing up into the suited and booted looks we laid on for them!

This was one of the looks and in true Winter spirit, I went for black and red tones, we did a lot of suiting, check shirts and 60's mod skinny suits and polo tops. We made it a bit younger with trainers from Puma and Adidas, which the boys walked off with in great glee! Merry Christmas!
Our photographer had to take a shot for Boyz magazine, who wanted the boys in white tees and christmas hats! They looked so cute!
Here is Siva swapping twitter deets, the boys spent plenty of time tweeting!

The video interview will be up on RANDOM magazine's YOU TUBE channel! We played pass the parcel with the boys, it's fantastic! So stay tuned for that! The shoot and interview will be out in RANDOM magazine's March Issue!

'Do it like a Dude' is my track of 2010 and I can't wait to see more of Jessie in 2011, the UK's answer to Rihanna for sure!
