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.
