London Fashion Week Fall 2017: Topshop Unique

London Fashion Week S/2012: Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry

London Fashion Week wouldn't be the same without two amazing collections by Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry.  Burberry Prorsum streamed their show live on their website, from London!  Therefore, not only was London watching, but the rest of the world..including myself!  Designer Christopher Bailey did not disappoint, drawing my attention right from the opening purple number.  And what complemented the collection..the front row fashion elite!  From Rachel Zoe to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, to Lily Donaldson, Poppy Delevigne and Sienna Miller.  Over at the Mulberry show, front row elite included Kate Moss, Kristen Stewart and Olivia Palermo.  Guests were greeted with ice cream and animal shaped balloons, creating a fun and cheerful atmosphere, setting the scene for Mulberry's quirky collection.

London Fashion Week Fall 2011 - Mulberry

Mulberry's Fall 2011 collection featured at London Fashion Week is sweet, simple, sophisticated, yet fresh.  Pieces include flowy maxi dresses paired with coats, shift dresses, trenchcoats, a liite fur and my favourite, the box like skirts.

Trend: Faux Fur and Animal Print

"I think every woman should have a piece of leopard, but not every woman will wear leopard. You have to have courage to wear leopard." Rachel Zoe  Are you ready to channel your inner Rachel Zoe?  Rachel's signatory leopard print and faux fur classics seem to have created a little fashion frenzy!  Left, right and centre.. on the runway, front row, street fashion and of course all your favourite celebrities are embracing this 1970's revolutionary trend.  The leopard and faux fur trend has been slowly sneaking into the fashion world, however, now it's been taken to a whole new level!  We're only half way through fashion week and the faux fur and leopard trend has completely taken over, not only on the runway, but also front row.  And How to wear this trend? 
The minimalistic approach
A little unsure about how the trend will work for you?  Try opting for an accessory like a bag, shoes or scarf.
