Ashley WilliamsÂ
Tartan and gingham patterns swarmed the catwalks this year at London Fashion Week, but no one does it better than Ashley Williams. After presenting her debut solo collection back in 2015 to critical acclaim Williams’ collections just keep getting better. Long skirts and classic jeans where her choice of style this year and of course those huge cowboy hats cannot go unnoticed (I bet Pharell will be happy!)Â

Ryan Lo
Hong Kong born designer Ryan Lo always goes the extra mile at Fashion Week- his style is extrovert and romantic fuelled by pop culture. Pink prints were the focus of his collection this year mixing camo, florals and even Hello Kitty to create a dreamy, floaty collection with contemporary edge. Ruffles also seem to be a huge trend this Fashion Week, with Lo executing them perfectly in his designs.
Mary Katrantzou
Critically acclaimed Katrantzou, who has won over 20 awards for her talent, has yet again pulled it out the bag with her extremely chic and sophisticated collection. Stony faced models sauntered down the runway wearing various combinations of dogtooth, miniature tartan and fur.
Ashish
King of glitter and sparkle Ashish maintained his title this year with perhaps, his most glittery collection to date. Walking down the fantastic yellow brick road runway, Ashish not only presented a fabulous collection but sent a didactic message all the way from London to the USA, with Mexican wrestler make up, rainbow stripes, and T-shirts emblazoned with sequins reading “Nasty Woman”.
Shrimps
Relatively new to Fashion Week is fur coat brand Shrimps, created by London based designer Hannah Weiland. The brand is fun, fluffy and fabulous, specialising in faux fur outerwear adorned with cute and quirky prints. I’m sure there are big things on the horizon for this brand.Â
