A Perfect Pairing.

 Bright Nights

Brighter than bright neon hues have a new best friend this coming fall. Grey.

I admit, even though I am a HUGE fan of colour, I am already slightly sick of the bright on bright trend that is in command this summer. I guess thats what happens when you live at the bottom of the world. The southern hemisphere sets a trend, the street style blogs/runways/magazines grab hold of it and we, down here in NZ, are tired of it before we even get to try it. 

Christopher Kane's Spring 2011 show set the neon movement in motion and now almost every designer from Marc to Marni has something acidic for sale on Netaporter.

Thankfully (and not surprisingly) the fashion pack has found a fresh way to wear those electric pieces. Neon and grey seems to be THE combination for this fall with everyone who's anyone embracing the look. I love this dark on bright pairing, the pop of neon against an otherwise flat pallet is perfection. I don't like black with colour for some reason, if I am wearing black I would rather be in ALL black. Grey is soft where black is hard, I think here black is too jarring.

LFW: Williamson, Kane & Erdem

So far London Fashion week has given me a whole lot to smile about. 

Here are my favourite things from my favourite people.

Matthew Williamson

I was transfixed by his bright colours and his (famous) bohemian sensibility. I would die for that blood orange, fringed mini dress (even though the fringe is in a slighty unfortunate area) and those every pair of the gorgeous trousers. Actually I think I'd just die for the whole collection.

Christopher Kane

What will possibly the best show of LFW, Christopher Kane blew the crowds away with is other worldly, richly crafted pieces. The cut of these dresses is something special, can you imagine wearing one? Coolest girl in the room. Sigh...

 Erdem

I first fell in love with Erdem (and print) after his Fall 2010 collection and ever since I have been addicted to Moralioglu's designs. His LFW show was all romance, seduction and innocence brought together in one seriously dreamy collection... It feels so clean and fresh with the cool blues and sharp yellows. A sartorial spring clean!

I can only guess at what it felt like to be actually experiencing these collections in... It must have been breathtaking. 
One day hopefully I will, but I guess until then, Style.com it is.
