London Fashion Week 2019: Style in our everyday wardrobe

THE BEST DAILY LOOKS OF LONDON FASHION WEEK

London Fashion Week presented elegant styles that are wearable in your everyday wardrobe. Below are some highlights from Roland Mouret, Burberry and Vivienne Westwood.

These are our top picks from Roland Mouret’s collection. The dynamic patterns and colors of this ultrachic long coat will brighten up any look while adding an element of elegance from denim to evening wear. While Roland Mouret is finally delving into menswear (we’ve been waiting for this moment!) the black long coat is a great unisex addition to anyone’s closet, especially in this age of oversized man-tailored womenswear. Lastly, this stunning jacket will catch everyone’s eye. The beautifully classic combination of red and black coupled with impeccable draping never ceases to create a fresh look each season.

Burberry has always presented classically elegant designs in their collections and these two examples showcase the timeless and daily wearability of the brand. Their classic double breasted trench coat is a basic “must have” and is fresh season-after-season with cool design elements such as iridescent luxe fabrics. The incorporation of texturized pastel fabrics in an always sexy pencil skirt will light up any wardrobe.

Vivienne Westwood did not disappoint this season with staple pinstripes and plaid patterns adorning oversized and double breasted jackets as seen here. Not only do all of these elements work together to keep this brand on trend, they do so while maintaining a level of maturity and luxury - with a true Vivienne Westwood edge.

Dressing for Spring With a Winter Breeze

Chilly mornings and lingering winds seem to not have coordinated well with the calendar's seasonal changes. Thankfully the Spring 2017 collections of Burberry, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Céline and Stella McCartney have given us inspiration and hope for these cooler days.

Take Advantage of Sweater Weather: Designer Christopher Bailey of Burberry reimagined the traditional cable knit sweater by transforming it into a layered one-shoulder shawl. Bailey’s vision translated into a flattering silhouette despite the unconventional lines of this architectural look.

Love the Jumper: One of many essentials for early Spring weather, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia of Oscar de la Renta share their love for cocktail tunics and day-to-night jumpers in their Spring 2017 collection.

Layer Up: There's no ignoring the low evening temperatures and blowing winds. The Valentino Spring 2017 collection featured a variety of floor-length trench coats to play on designer Pierpaolo Piccioli's romantic vision of complimenting lengthy gowns and flowing skirts.

Embrace a Lighter Color Palette: The Spring 2017 Céline runway was filled with earth-toned hues of white, blue, black, and brown. A soundtrack of city traffic and children’s voices played through the venue to emphasize the collection's transparency of a day in the wearer's life.

Relax in Looser Fits: Designer Stella McCartney took to light fabrics and relaxed fits with oversized jumpers, tops and trousers. A combination of full-coverage in light fabrics helps our Spring mentality embrace the last of this Winter weather.

Paris Fashion Week: A Muddy Palette

Designers took earth-tones to the runway as Paris Fashion Week is showing a color palette of muddy browns, tans, greys and greens. Balmain, Vivienne Westwood, Céline and Stella McCartney are a noticeable few painting the runway with neutral hues.

Inspired by grunge band Nirvana, the Balmain collection varied in shades of brown, tan, gold and orange, featuring embellished alligator vests, zebra-printed dresses, and thigh-high snakeskin boots. Designer Oliver Rousteing explained, "They’ve embarked on the perfect road trip, picking up influence while traveling across the globe’s most awe-inspiring landscapes – the Serengeti, the Far West, Amazonia."

Husband and creative director of Vivienne Westwood, Andreas Kronthaler announced his 75-year-old wife would walk the Paris runway. The Fall 2017 collection, a mix of signature Vivienne Westwood and Viennese Modernism, featured bold paint-spattered prints, marionette inspired makeup and hair styled with plastic bags and colored extensions.

Céline guests watched the show from rotating bleachers as models walked laps on the runway. Embodying an "as-the-world-turns" message, models accessorized with suitcases, carried travel blankets and wore map-printed overcoats.

Animal-rights activist, Stella McCartney debuted her cruelty-free Fall collection featuring indistinguishable "skin-free skin" fabrics with equestrian-inspired suede mini dresses, leather trousers and quilted jackets. The show payed tribute to singer George Michael as models lip-synced "Faith" in the show finale. 

NYFW Day 4: The New Pantsuit

Designers are breaking boundaries by reconstructing the traditional business suit to fit individual style and personality. Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, Victoria Beckham and Verdad are a noticeable few giving business formal a new definition.

The Prabal Gurung collection inevitably made a statement transforming classic oversized sweaters, blazers and dresses using unconventional textures, statement prints and bold fabrics. Rather than displaying these pieces in his finale, the models walked the runway in political slogan tees reading "I am an immigrant" and "Revolution has no borders". Gurung also used his platform to break boundaries in the fashion industry by inviting size 4 models to walk in his show. 

Designer of Altuzarra, Joseph Altuzarra, conveyed the inspiration for his Fall/Winter collection drew from the brand's "complex" clients. Fighting traditional trends while keeping a sense of modernity, the collection features color-blocking looks, military lace-up boots, velvet pantsuits and colonial-inspired overcoats.

The 2017 Fall/Winter Victoria Beckham collection is the epitome of the new pantsuit. "I've never really worn a blazer with a skirt" said designer Victoria Beckham when explaining her creative process. The collection featured oversized blazers paired with collared sheer dress shirts, long chiffon skirts and slouchy boots for a "relaxed" take on business formal. 

When designing his Fall/Winter collection, designer Louis Verdad believed "The vision for fashion is more relaxed". The Verdad day-time collection of oversized pants, sweaters and overcoats followed a palette of navy, sunflower yellow, and neutral hues.
