Chicago Fashionista, Sept. 2005

Fall Fashion from the British Isles

By Courtney Blackman, our fashionista across the pond.

London Fashion Week Is Here

It’s that time of year again. International journalists, world-renowned models, and celebrities have descended upon the capital for a week filled with designer clothing, accessories, and up-all-night parties. Collections from established favourites Julien MacDonald, Gharani Strok, Ashish, and Frost French will be promenaded down the catwalks, while hundreds of designers display their creations in showrooms scattered throughout the city.

Castaways Design will be partaking in their second London Fashion Week. Their sexy collection of fine-sliced, expert-molded horn jewellery will be shown privately in the heart of London’s West End. Their necklaces, earrings, bracelets and belts are sold at DKNY globally and in boutiques throughout Europe and North America.

Also showing is a new young label, Aiyana London. Already shooting up the ‘must have’ ladder, this collection of leather handbags and accessories donning woven panels, jewelled closures, and metallic embellishments, is definitely one to keep an eye on.
