Winner Milly Jackson (Nottingham Trent University) A/W 11

The 2011 F.A.D awards at Vauxhall Fashion Scout showcased a spectacular parade of innovative design from up-and-coming graduate talent. There was a whole new plethora of creativity that pioneered a new glimpse of future design aesthetics for the new decade.

Christopher Shannon A/W 2011 Collections

For Autumn/ Winter 2011, Christopher Shannon spliced the clans of the British streets with the earthiness of global tribes. Decked out in a spectrum of black, navy, brown and soft grey, the menswear designer’s new collection reflected his core style, whilst hinting at a deep-seated desire to experiment with the limits of urban casuals.

D.GNAK by KANG.D A/W 11

Vauxhall Fashion Scout hosted the D.Gnak by Kang.D autumn/winter 11/12 show today and it did not disappoint. With tailoring taken to a whole new level, the runway was showcasing pieces that have given the classic suit a contemporary twist, filled with tweeds and unfinished hems; this collection was a combination of British influence with an East Asian twist.

Ashish A/W 2011 Collection

Known for his trademark sequinned tongue-in-cheek chic, Ashish didn’t disappoint the fashion-fatigued with his latest offerings, in the last womenswear show of London Fashion Week. Whilst last September, he was celebrating all that is great and good about Americana, this time his muse lies a little bit closer to home.

By combining the traditional tartans of the Highlands in an irreverent mish-mash with late 1970s’ pun aesthetics (think brothel creepers and holey jumpers) the designer has created a look that is thoroughly modern, with garments emblazoned with slogans such as ‘Hard Times’ and ‘Teen Idle’.

Mr Start A/W 11

A collection that was filled with classic pieces combined with today’s fashion – Mr Start (who is based in Shoreditch) showed his collection today at One Aldwych. With a selection of suits on live models as well as shirts, jackets and ties displayed around the venue, this exhibit was full of masculinity and it was clear that the designs have been made to look clean cut and elegant.

Sibling A/W 11

Quirky yet casual knitwear graced the room at Sibling’s A/W 11 collection entitled ‘Darn The Boozer’ at Somerset House at London Fashion Week today. Inspired by pubs, pandas and cables – the designers impressed with impeccably designed knitwear ranging from beanie hats to knitted all in ones; they say the collection is “for wrapping up and keeping up”.

Alice Palmer A/W 11

Geometric pieces and monochrome coloured knitwear filled the runway today as Alice Palmer presented her A/W 11 collection titled ‘Into The Void’ at Vauxhall Fashion Scout – it featured her original polyhedra knitting techniques and the designs were somewhat futuristic yet still remained classic.
