Five trends from London Fashion Week you may (or may not) care to adopt
London Fashion Week continues to do what it does best: trail-blaze new trends and raise eyebrows.
Here are five trends and styles you may or may not want to take up:
Headgear
Hussein Chalayan went bold, using headwear as an extension of his outfits’ embroidery. The models, now stylish columns, looked even more severe than they tend to do on catwalks.
Although this sort of face-in-the-hole chic was oddly elegant, seasides are unlikely to be so avant garde any time soon.

Fashion brand A.W.A.K.E. also went big by re-envisioning the sombrero, making them more minimal in design, if a little phallic.

Fancy footwear
Given the renaissance of Stan Smith shoes and Gucci’s super popular range of white sneakers, trainers were scattered across the catwalks.
Never one to follow the pack, Christopher Kane took a different approach to his trainers: it felt like a pair of Crocs had been catapulted through a billionaire’s vault.
They’re utterly fabulous in the way only high fashion can be, of course. But you’re still not allowed to wear Crocs. Ever.

Tartan
“Has tartan ever been out?” kilt-owners and punk throwbacks ask.
Perhaps not: it’s a classic print. But it’s always nice to know your grandmother’s tartan throw or your flannel shirt still has some life left in it.
Model of the moment Gigi Hadid donned a woolly tartan-print coat at the Tommy Hilfiger TOMMYNOW show – a collection of clothes that can all be bought now – while other models wore the print on puffa jackets, shirts and blouses.
Meanwhile Burberry reinvented its iconic beige check pattern in red.
Supermarket chic
Richard Malone’s debut collection at LFW took colour inspiration from the everyday: supermarkets. His collection used a palette blue, green and yellow as the basis for his softly tailored jackets and dresses – and there was nothing everyday about it.
Worth whacking out one of those 10p Tesco bags to up your style game, eh?

Statement fashion
Fashion has always be used to make a statement and London Fashion Week was no different.
Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi at Preen sought to empower women with their clothes. Even without the flimsy bonnets, the collection no doubt took a little inspiration from The Handmaid’s Tale.
Victorian styles were given modern updates in bright white, accents of red and glimmers of loose tailoring.
