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.

Matthew Williamson
Back to London fashion week in order to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Matthew Williamson introduced a somewhat surprising collection that featured body conscious and modern clothes instead of his signature boho look full of florals and butterfly prints. The clothes were heavy with intricate embellishments, geometric designs (the triangle prints were especially exquisite), metallics, gathered waist skirts/shorts and bright colors. All in all, the show featured a lot of the trends we’ve seen thus far for Spring 2010 collections — nothing too revolutionary and perhaps slightly unfocused — though Williamson’s interpretations are definitely among the best, and of course a collection does not have to be cutting-edge to be good. Very bold, very flashy and very on-trend, the collection however remains completely wearable and feminine, true to Williamson’s roots.

Sass & Bide
Made up entirely of Sass & Bide’s signature black, white, and gold color palette, this show nevertheless remained unique and captivating and is definitely my favorite collection from Sass & Bide in quite a while. From pristine and glamorous chrome-topped Grecian gowns to harem pants to (my personal favorite) metal leggings, the clothes are reminiscent of the ancient Egyptians and Aztecs, creating a futuristic warrior-chic feel and are able to separate themselves from the other collections we’ve seen thus far that have heavily favored embellishments.

Jonathan Saunders
The muted, calming color palatte shown at Jonathan Saunders was a welcome change from the dramatic detailing that’s been so popular on the runways for S/S 2010. The light, breezy fabrics and transparency come like a breath of fresh air and this collection is truly perfect for springtime. The models sported fresh-out-of-the-shower hair, which added to the overall ethereal aesthetic of the collection. Neon colors and linear designs were overlapped with frosty shades that created both a soft and modern, if not exciting, effect.
