A sea of black

Black always a staple colour and most often than not is a key component in any wardrobe. Which is lucky as the working dress code at London fashion week was head to toe black. One would assume that in a sea of black one intern to the next would merge together but how wrong could one be. Never before have I seen people communicating through fashion in such a forced manner with no one person looking the same as the next or wanting to either. It was a difficult task, waking up everyday and assessing the black wardrobe situation to create an image that is fresh, unique and most importantly you.

If there was any time to observe how people communicate through fashion it was now. The place was filled to the brim with different styles which echoed individual personalities.

The little vintage pixie with a love for all things black she played with textures and shapes. Here she is wearing a fringed cropped black jumper that was once her mothers, over a ruched panelled skirt teamed with a lace jacket and military boots. The lace jacket beautiful in its shape, with little puffed shoulders and an elastic band waist, can be done up creating a gorgeous silhouette, fabulous.

The punk rocker with a hate for all things black mixed it up with a blue and black jumpsuit, a leather jacket and pumps creating an edgier style. Just like her personality her clothes were bold, fearless and spoke volumes. Confessing that black isn’t a permanent feature in her wardrobe she certainly had fun with it and always stood out from the crowd.

The innocent black beauty with a charming eye for layers and accessories creates an interesting combination that is both enchanting and alluring. A basic black body is teamed with a hook and eye waist length cardigan, with another cargigan draped in a darker shade. A cold grey boyfriend blazer kept the overall look sharp. On the accessories front a bold layered silver Vivienne Westwood necklace and a flower in her hair add a girly innocence, which echoed her shy girlish nature.

An army of military boots were showcased in a variety of colours along with a mishmash of suede knee highs, so when these pearly pumps caught my eye it made for a refreshing change.

The onlookers that made up the rows of seats at the shows worked the dark shades of the rainbow but none communicated through their wardrobe choices as much as these.
