Matthew Williamson
The Theme: Quirky Business Looks
The Color Palette: Orange, Pink, Lime, Blue, Black, and White
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Ever wonder how to inject some fun into your everyday work wardrobe? According to Matthew Williamson’s formula, simply add a bright splash of color and throw in a few prints of, or actual 3D flowers or dragonflies. Break out of your comfort zone with a pair of satin lime pants paired with a lemon yellow daisy sweater to breathe new life into your typical office wear and help you get through your 9 to 5 with a fresh and rejuvenated spirit.
The Show: Temperley London
The Theme: Temperley’s Garden
The Color Palette: Purple, Pink, Black, White, Silver, and Mint Green
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Florals for spring are nothing new, but in the hands of designer Alice Temperley, we are reminded as to why we are drawn to them in the first place. From a mint floor-length satin gown with flower-shaped cutouts to cherry blossom embroidery on silver threaded dresses, these ethereal and romantic pieces project a relaxed sense of luxury that will make you long for spring no matter where you are.

The Theme: Timeless pieces meant to work their way around the trends
The Color Palette: Navy Blue, Cream, Yellow, Black, White, Red
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: Vivienne Westwood is known for always shaking things up with her runway shows and for spring she has turned her attention to the issue of climate change. Presenting a lineup of practical, timeless pieces from tailored jackets to floral printed dresses and jumpsuits, Westwood used her Red Label to recapture the value of quality over quantity. These are pieces that can be worn for many occasions that people will want to have hanging in their closets forever.
The Show: J.W. Anderson
The Theme: Clean Cut and Artfully Sculpted
The Color Palette: Black, White, Blue, Peach, Red, Yellow, Green, and Brown
The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: There were plenty of pleats, folds, and defined shapes to be found in J.W. Anderson’s latest collection. One particular pairing that caught our attention featured Anderson’s signature twisted jumper worn backwards in red paired on top of a white knotted skirt made of pleated leather. Sometimes it is more difficult to forget about frivolous decoration and focus your efforts on the clean lines of the material you are working with, but in Anderson’s hands, the end result is as effortless as it is refreshing.

The Show: Mulberry Fall 2013
The Theme: Plaid layers
The Color Palette: Black, brown, yellow, and white
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: There is something that always feels very British about plaid, and for fall, Mulberry used this classic print on everything from tunics to skirts and even a matching dog vest. There was an abundance of layered pieces, with skirts and dresses being worn over cropped pants. Another focus was the mixture of patterns and fabrications seen in the combination of plaid and tweed on a bell sleeved top. Many of the looks were completed with elbow-length leather gloves that matched the color of the collection.
The Show: Preen Fall 2013
The Theme: The Apocalypse
The Color Palette: Red, black, and white
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Even though the end of the world did not come to pass in 2012, Preen designers Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi decided to create a collection based around the wardrobe of a woman living in a post-apocalyptic world. Strong looks were presented with crisply tailored jackets, blouses and dresses in a lineup of red or black. Zippers accented many of the pieces, placed on pants, skirts and jackets in long, slanted angles. A black jacket and skirt was highlighted by bright streaks of red lining the front of each piece as well as the collar, while the skirt was left unzipped to create a more versatile and unexpected form of body armor for the modern woman. With these structured pieces, Preen made sure that even if the world fell apart, a woman would always be able to count on her clothes to stay together.
