PPQ headed by Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker had a tongue-in-cheek collection with 1940s hats, jumpsuits and air stewardess influenced outfits. Inspired by the letter “p” the collection included quirky T-shirt dresses and oversized “bling” earrings.
High street label Topshop unveiled its Unique collection. Youthful and louche, models tied up their hair with cloth Alice bands and wore monochrome mini-dresses and jump suits.
More sophisticated styles could be found in the collections by seasoned designers Ossie Clarke and Caroline Charles.
Clarke’s collection was a return to his 1970s heyday with voluminous silk creations and hand-painted designs.
Clarke died in 1996 and the collection is now led by designer Avsh Alom Gul and featured model-of-the moment Jourdan Dunn.
Caroline Charles, whose career in fashion spans four decades, was excited about this year’s event. She told Reuters: “It's not a sort of tiny, tight little group like some cities, it's a really broad canvas of designers that we allow and promote and sometimes pay for to go on our catwalks and it makes London fizz".
