Londons designers didnt all agree that the 70s was the decade for Fall 2015, many referencing the
swinging 60s and strong modish forms. There were plenty of shorter skirts, shift dresses and bright
pops of color on the runway. At JONATHAN SAUNDERS and OSMAN, styles were clean and crisp looking with boxy cuts. DAVID KOMA and EDELINE LEE embraced colorblocking on shift dresses and mini
A-line skirts. DAKS also embraced the times, accessorizing all looks with baker boy caps.

The 70s were heavily sprinkled throughout the London shows, and in less subtle interpretations than in
New York. TOPSHOP UNIQUE and FELDER FELDER went traditional, favoring jumpsuits, long vests and
flares. BURBERRY PRORSUM and MATTHEW WILLIAMSON highlighted the importance of teal within
maxi skirts and ponchos. JONATHAN SAUNDERS opted for the psychedelic, presenting vivid, almost
dizzy prints with clashing palettes, while ROKSANDA was theatrical, with bolts of irregular colorblocking.

Leave it to London to embrace the decades. MOTHER OF PEARL mixed grungy florals, wallpaper prints
and sporty trim, while PREEN BY THORNTON BREGAZZI went super active, mixing a crop top with lowslung pants. MARQUESALMEIDA and MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN brought in denim-on-denim looks
in light and medium washes that were both tomboy and a bit feme. L.A.M.B and LE KILT played with
school girl plaids, reminiscent of a grungier Cher Horowitz of Clueless fame.

The gilded age is back and head-to-toe metallic shine is in. FELDER FELDER, MARKUS LUPFER and
MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN all looked sporty and directional, making statements in metallic match
sets. TEMPERLEY LONDON and MOTHER OF PEARL were on-trend, showing outwear and dresses in
copper, the hot new metallic for the season. And ERDEM simply dazzled, utilizing needle-punch to blend
wblack wool with a rococo jacquard.

Couture-worthy capes are proving theyre well suited for combating falls chill. MULBERRY, SIMONE ROCHA and GILES experimented with prints and patterns, the latter looking the most dramatic in a comb
of black and white with ruffle trim. BURBERRY PRORSUM introduced a fur version with double-breasted
fastening for an extra polished edge. ORLA KIELYS classic style with storm flaps and a peter pan collar
was well-mannered and feminine.

Fringe has moved away from just a small detail on trimmed bags and kimonos to the It adoration on all
that sways. Used extensively at TOM FORD and BURBERRY PRORSUM, it decked out entire suede coats,
skirts and dresses. At ISSA, fringe was finer and graced the side of celebrity-worthy dresses. BELLSTAFF
used it on patchwork knits with fringed shoulders, while TOGA went for an allover top and skirt. VIVIENNE WESTWOOD RED LABEL brought interest from the bottom up with pull-on knitted fringe socks.
