Due to a seating mix up and a late arrival no one for Amelia’s Magazine was well placed to take photos at Bernard Chandran. Perched at the mouth of the catwalk I had a great view of the models’ amazing winged eyes and some interesting cut out backs, a nod to the 90s that has been increasingly popular on the catwalks this season.

There was a real element of sports luxe to this collection, which began with tight fitting panelled dresses in jewel colours, the lyrca stretched from the high necks into hoods and over a flat visor. Embellishments came in the form of beading and painterly washes of colour in digital prints on A-line shift dresses, billowing blouses and boxy shirts. I particularly liked the loose plaits that held together uncovered hair: a look which has been popular on many catwalks for A/W 2013.

I didn’t have a brilliant view of the Bernard Chandran show, due to the fact that it was madly over-subscribed and I didn’t get into the venue quickly enough because I had Snarfle with me. Bernard Chandran can normally be relied upon to pull off a stunning show but I felt that he was somewhat resting on his laurels this season, revisiting similar shapes and fabrics from his stunning S/S 2013 show. Cinch waisted suits, draped dresses and asymmetric silhouettes in rich autumnal shades were presented in a sexy combination of glittery metallics and leather – all sure to please his legion of fans but it would be good to see a different direction explored next season.

Amelia’s Magazine | Bernard Chandran: London Fashion Week S/S 2014 Catwalk Review

Bernard Chandran S/S 2014 by Yelena Bryksenkova.

In the upper halls of Freemasons’ Hall Bernard Chandran once again put on a stellar show. Sumptuous silken lame in jewel bright hues of blue, red, green and orange was cut in a series of swishing asymmetric layered dresses that featured off kilter puff shoulders, caped bodices and artfully pleated drop waisted skirts. Delicate tinsel head pieces called to mind the fairy on top of the Christmas tree, and feet were dressed in chunky heeled strap sandals of matching glitter. Tumbling tubular beads created optical patterns on statement dresses, the sumptuous skeins of brocade offset against skinny twinkle straps. The entire collection was fit for a most modern princess. More, please!
