LONDON FASHION WEEK SS15 SHOW REPORT - Busardi

LFW SS15 - BUSARDI "AIR" RUNWAY COLLECTION
The Busardi show took place in a beautiful drawing room in the depths of Mayfair. We met the lovely Kimberley Garner of Made in Chelsea fame and she was a total babe, chatting away happily and looking beaut in her sheer panelled dress.
   
The collection was entitled "Air" and drew inspiration from the incredibly diverse landscapes and microenvironments of South America, such as the smoking plunge pools of the Iguazu Falls and the golden pink sand deserts of Argentina.
     
The hair and makeup were by AOFM Pro and featured elegant updos with effortless flyaway hairs and an ethereal silver metallic eye. The models looked strong and fearlessly feminine.
     
The pieces were truly stunning, mixing layering and transparent panels with lace details, soft ostrich feathers and glacial applique and tulle adornments. The silver shoes, heavily encrusted ear cuffs and moulded silver necklaces accented the collection perfectly and made reference to the glacier-hewn fields of Patagonia.
   
The models all lined up on the stairwell after the show, giving us a chance to admire the spectacular detailing that went into these gowns. I fell in love with the finale piece, a showstopping minky grey dress with a sheer tulle skirt and hundreds of grey ostrich feathers layered around the shoulders of the cape.
 
Every piece truly red-carpet worthy.
Love, Geisha xoxo

LONDON FASHION WEEK AW14 - Busardi & my LFW Outfit of the day (ft Topshop, ASOS, Zara)

BUSARDI AW14

In the last bit of spare time I had, I RAN to the Busardi presentation named "Thorns". I had a chat with the charming Busardi herself who explained the inspiration she got from her Thai mother.

The collection was absolutely beautiful, with the models vampy lips accenting the detailed embellishment and sheer panelling on breathtaking gowns. Truly red carpet worthy, my favourite piece was the gorgeous sheer maroon dress with 3D embellishments.

 

In other news, we ran into Myleene Klass filming a TV segment in towering Louboutin heels on the Somerset House cobblestones.

 

I also ran into an old colleague and friend and we spent the rest of the evening catching up on everything.

 

My outfit:

Hat from Zara

Gloves from Accessorize

Dress from Zara

Coat from Topshop

Bag from Russell & Bromley

Boots from ASOS

See you soon!

Love,

LONDON FASHION WEEK AW14 - Charlie May

CHARLIE MAY AW14

A big thank you to Charlie for the invitation to her show this February. I'm awfully late with the coverage but these are the pieces that you will be wearing this season so hopefully it works in a way!

The vibe was very cool and rugged as Charlie took her inspiration from the Dartmoor area in Devon. Fur detailing and leather accents ran through the collection - I think everyone's favourite look was the leather coat with fur collar and cuffs as it drew a gasp when the model came out!

The collection exuded a certain elegance with oversized yet structured pieces in navy, black and white, which included snuggly long-sleeved ribbed knits and knee-length skirts. White platform trainers and the most adorable peaked beret hats (a collab with New York milliner Gigi Burris) brought a major amount of freshness. My favourite show of the season!

Love,

Geisha

LONDON FASHION WEEK AW14 - Ong-Oaj Pairam

ONG-OAJ PAIRAM AW14

I was lucky enough to be invted to Brighton based designer Ong-Oaj Pairam's show for London Fashion Week earlier this year to see his amazing collection of 50s inspired gowns, striking colour pop coats and patterned pieces.

The show took place in the breathtaking Freemansons Hall location and was arranged by the guys at Fashion Scout - thank you very much for the invitation.

Ong-Oaj hails from Thailand and was inspired by Super Villains and in particular, Ursula from the Little Mermaid - Bad-ass, right?

Scroll right to the bottom for a full video of all the looks but for me, my favourite pieces were the ballgowns:

  





The models hair and make up were very 50s inspired and injected a super-shot of glamour to the show.

Ain't nobody got time for the grungy look with amazing pieces like this:

More LFW AW14 coverage coming up soon!

Love,

Geisha
