Last week’s Betty Jackson AW10 show at London Fashion week was thrilling, despite the heavy rain outside. With big fashion names such as Erin O’Connor and Zandra Rhodes on the front row and some great looks on the runway, it was a thoroughly enjoyable atmosphere.
As expected for any autumn/winter season, black featured, although navy overruled it with hints of brown and gold. Jackets, skirts and trousers were in a variety of materials from corduroy to denim. There was a distinct lack of accessories on the catwalk, but it seems wooden clogs are here to stay with almost every model sporting them and the oversize black totes couldn’t be missed! Double denim was updated with loose fitting casuals. Leather also featured heavily in crop tops over simple blouses, leather dresses and shirts. Florals and leopard prints returned and were mixed together with natural hair and makeup looks. The oddest look was probably the “nuns” that came down the runway.
Overall, the collection was cohesive in terms of design and colour, but with different looks suitable for the office to the bar, it has enough variety to suit any kind of lifestyle.
