Fashion fans go crazy for new clothing

By: Rhian

Organised by the British Fashion Council, the UK has held one of the most eventful and fashionable events of the year at Store Studios London – London Fashion Week 2017! High end and high street retailers have launched this year’s spring and summer styles on the London catwalk from 17th-21st of February. London Fashion Week is an opportunity to celebrate fashion over a period of ten days and gives hints of the new fashion next season.

London-based designer Shireeka Devlin says, ‘Nothing has increased my social following as much as attending London fashion week!’

Caroline Rush, Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council, commented, ‘London Fashion Week festival is a natural continuation of the increasingly popular London Fashion Weekend’

There has been a diverse selection of clothes, bags, footwear and accessories from over 150 designers such as Topshop and well-known designers like Vivienne Westwood. However, last year, Topshop announced the most unique fashion with their retail collection but the new trend has been launched by the luxury fashion brand – Burberry!

As far as trend watching was concerned, Burberry have taken over the runway with their autumn and winter collection. Public have been going crazy and already ordering their winter wear with Burberry’s new fluffy white coats which have started from £1,795. Also making its way onto the runway was Burberry’s sculpted heel boots with a recommended retail price of £695.

As a result of February’s show being a success designer brands such as Versace and Channel are planning to up their game in the clothing business for September’s London Fashion Week 2017.

During 2k16’s Fashion Week Topshop was what everyone was talking about – with their blazers and dresses. However the global brand was the runner up for the new trend with their collection from the unique show. The runners up had a variety of exceptional clothing – bags, dresses, skirts and many more.

The cameras get ready for many top celebs that have been chosen to model such as – Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid which all modelled for the famous top selling brand - Burberry! The leading street style stars modelled (Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid) were the big name models for Burberry’s dresses at the Love Magazine Party.

A student at Littleover Community School, Neave, stated: “I think that it is a great week and you get to experience high street and high end brands!”

Overall I think it is a great opportunity to experience and I think that they have retailed high quality brands which everyone would love and share.
