I really liked Lucja Wojtala‘s new collection, which featured intricate jacquard knits in a variety of wonderful designs inspired by the traditional aesthetics of South America, Turkey, India and Africa. She calls this look ‘global primary folk with a modern twist.’ Bandeau mini dresses came with a flouncy black peplum at the waist and longer dresses came with panels of different textured knit, either wrapped and tied or dangling to create different length interest. Panelled cardigans were worn over brilliant geometric designed leggings and hair was worn with side plait details. Mixing pastel shades of lemon yellow, mushroom and peach with greys, royal blue and black, this was a bold and wearable collection accessorised with brilliant matching brocade heels.

It must have seemed like a good idea on paper: create an interesting presentation by employing a male model to fake rake a Japanese style rock garden whilst models strut up and down. Unfortunately said male model was a major distraction at the Ekaterina Kukhareva show – bobbing in and out of photo opportunities when all we really wanted was a clear shot of the girls in elegant Oriental inspired intarsia patterned dresses and knitted trouser suits in shades of summer sorbet. Plastic cut out stack heeled boots injected an on trend shock of neon, but best of all were the extravagant flower covered net fascinators that were tied in frothy bows over the models’ faces.
