6 shows, 3 shoe changes, 2 blisters, and 1 Lara bar | yohana


Six shows, three shoe changes, two blisters, and one Lara bar (no wonder fashion NYers are so skinny…no time to eat!) Hours into the day, I’ve got enough florals, pyjamas, and bright colours to last me a lifetime.
Peter Som started things off with a colorful bang, giving us acid-bright pinks, blues, and tangerines. Blown-up digital floral prints made a big impact, and the ‘60s influence we saw for fall made a strong showing in the form of box tops, swing shifts, and a cropped baby blue pant suit. On a more modern note, many of the pieces were paired with sporty, anorak detailing.
A little uptown, hosted in the cavernous and jaw-dropping Barishnikov arts centre, the mood of The Row‘s spring collection was decidedly starker. Guests mingled casually with the pint-sized Olsen pair pre-presentation—a welcome treat among the many exclusivities of fashion week—and sat down together to take in the beauty of an almost entirely white collection, featuring layers of luxe silk and chiffon, pyjama pants with mother of pearl detailing, and what felt like diamond-dusted embroidery sparkled on far-East inspired, modern-cut kimonos. The collection was all at once over-the-top ornate and perfectly acceptable boudoir attire. Speaking of, I think I’m ready for bed! More coverage from Day 1 coming up shortly! Until then, my pretties…

A chock full day 2 of Ashish, Vivienne Westwood, House of Holland, Jonathan Saunders, and more! | yohana


Jardins d’Ashish, a collection chock-a-block with sequined sunflowers, daisies over checkerboard patterns, and the occasional brick wall, brought day two of London fashion week to a sunny start—even if it ended on a much (MUCH!) colder note. After the show, I headed backstage to meet Ashish Gupta, the designer behind Ashish. “I think was feeling quite romantic this season, and didn’t feel like I really needed that sense of humour,” he said. While the designer isn’t widely known in North America, his designs are pretty major across the pond; he’s launching his second Topshop collab next month. (Note to the Bay: bring it, bring it, bring it!)
Other highlights of the day were seeing Vivienne Westwood backstage, half an hour before her show (which included some brilliant hair extensions and elfin ears), playing a game of “Who is that?!” at House of Holland, trying to guess all the British It girls, the super-feminine dresses at Emilio de la Morena, Felicity Brown’s salon show, which was on the second floor of the Royal Opera House and couldn’t possibly have been set at a better venue, and of course, Jonathan Saunders, which is always one of the highlights of LFW. Inspired by the girl living in Miami in the ‘50s, dresses, sheer tops, and pants featured a very Florida-esque palette (think coral, bright blue, and a bit of mint green and black), pyjama dressing at its best, and Saunders’ signature expertise in prints, colour, and patterns. Stay tuned for the Backstage beauty look from this show.
