4 Celebrity and Influencer Style Trends from London Fashion Week
From Chloe Cherry to Jourdan Dunn and Leonie Hanne, celebrities, models and some of fashion's biggest names have been gracing the streets of London for Fashion Week, wearing some exceptionally chic outfits with a smidge of quirky fun. Here, we pick out 4 trends that they have been sporting.
Glamarous Metallics
Models Munroe Bergdorf and Maxim Magnus, as well as fashion blogger Susanna Lau (@susiebubble), were all seen wearing head-turning, retro-futuristic, statement metallic looks that encapsulated classic-contemporary glamour.
The sleek, contemporary, fur-trimmed ensembles on Bergdorf and Magnus featured longer skirt and pant lengths and figure-hugging, waist accentuating silhouettes that oozed of Old Hollywood when teamed with elegant, drop-style earrings. Bergdorf's stunning black gown featured a fun, gold starry motif for a playfully whimsical touch.
Susanna's button-up dress with soft pleats and blouson sleeves that hinted at the prarie dresses of yesteryear was injected with a dose of the '70s, dressed in a dazzling, almost psychedelic, multicoloured metallic textile. To add to the trending, Western Americana aesthetic, she teamed the dress with statement, thigh-high, white, square-toed boots, a nod to the cowboy boots of the Old West.
The Cut-Out Dress
The cut-out mini seemed to be a hit with the impeccably stylish attendees at London Fashion Week. German-style influencer Leonie Hanne, models Jourdan Dunn and Hanna Cross, singer-songwriter Joy Crookes, actress Maisie Williams and 'Euphoria' star Chloe Cherry were all spotted wearing variations of the sultry number.
Featuring slinky fabrics, micromesh, ruching, slim straps and gently asymmetric hems, these dresses created a powerfully sexy silhouette while hinting at the popular '90s and Y2K era aesthetics that have been sweeping the fashion scene. Opting for a vampy lip, Maisie Williams went full-on '90s, accessorising with strappy, square-toed black heeled sandals, while Jourdan Dunn took inspiration from a classic '00s colour combination, pairing her powdery, pastel turquoise blue dress with a chocolate brown shrug.
Monochrome
Leave it to guests at London Fashion Week to ace the monochrome trend. Jourdan Dunn looked ravishing in a bright scarlet, Maximillian dress that featured a unique, harlequin motif, plunging cowl neck halter top and wrap style skirt with a thigh-high slit. She accessorised with matching, elbow-high gloves and pointed black heels that featured a kiss of red at the pointed tip, pulling the whole look together.
Monochrome red also featured on Georgia May Jagger's sultry, retro-chic, '70s rockstar-glam look. Her sultry, scarlet-hued dress featured a similar plunging, halter top and wrap style skirt to Jourdan's but showcased a slightly more structured, yet drapey silhouette. The ribbon tie detail created an alluring, cinched waist look, lending a sensually feminine, Brigitte Bardot-esque charm. She edged out the almost ethereal feel dress with matching red tights, a chain shoulder bag and classic, shiny black, pointed pumps.
In an effortlessly cool, fun take on athleisure, fashion buying director for Mytheresa, Tiffany Hsu, went with shades of green for her monochrome street style look. She teamed bright-pastel neon green, wide-legged pants with a white hoodie and oversized, bright kelly green, cuffed bomber jacket. The white stripe on the cuff lent a '50s retro varsity feel to the look while neon green, pointed pumps and a green, quilted, Chanel flap bag with gold hardware lent a feminine touch to the sporty look.
'50s Kitsch
Garishly bold, clashing colours, folksy prints and exaggerated silhouettes, '50s kitsch was made chic at London Fashion Week courtesy of Jourdan Dunn, British-American singer-songwriter Celeste and English model/photographer Laura Bailey.
The sleek, fitted, semi-sheer, almost sportswear feel nature of Celeste's top lent a contemporary feel to its kitschy, green and red mixed gingham print, perfectly juxtaposing her shocking pink, voluminous, tiered bubble skirt. The bright pink, green and red combination also appeared on Laura Bailey's oversized knit sweater in the form of a retro motif that was reminiscent of vintage Christmas sweaters. The look was given a modern edge with accessories like a sleek, black Chanel crossbody bag and dark, oversized sunglasses.
Pink and green continued to Jourdan Dunn's statement, blessed, trenchcoat style dress with exaggerated shoulders, this time featuring a softer, rosy pink. The wide belt featured a rectangular buckle that cinched in the waist to create the iconic, '50s glamour, hourglass shape. The classic black of the textile provided the chic factor, diminishing the kitschy nature of the large, brightly-hued, rose print, while the longline skirt of the dress and slim straps of her dainty, pointed heels lent an elegant, almost contemporary glamour to the vintage-inspired look.
