See All the Celebrities Sitting Front Row at London Fashion Week

As soon as the last model hit the runway at Marc Jacobs's fall 2018 New York Fashion Week show, editors and fashion insiders flocked to London for the next wave of looks that'll capture your attention.

But first, who's sitting in the front row? Mulberry kicked off London Fashion Week on Friday in a posh way with celebrities like Emma Roberts and Jourdan Dunn playing witness to designer Johnny Coca's latest collection, which came with a full-on live performance by British singer Alison Goldfrapp. So what else can we expect to go down in the days ahead? Design houses we for sure know will draw out an A-list crowd include J.W. Anderson, Burberry, Simone Rocha, Mary Katrantzou, and Erdem.

MEGA Fashion Week S/S ’18: Mark Bumgarner

Mark Bumgarner

There’s a noticeable change in Mark Bumgarner’s offerings as the designer strayed from showcasing the full regalia of his signature ball gowns at the #MEGAFashionWeekSS18. That is not to say that the magnificence the designer is known for is absent—he merely translated the grandeur of red carpet-ready gowns into wearable pieces: separates of asymmetrical tops and jacquard cigarette pants were shown while shoulder-baring dresses were balanced with billowing sleeves and exaggerated silhouettes. Brocade ruffled coats and crystal-encrusted gowns in various pastel hues and jewel tones channeled Mark’s signature eleganza. 

When asked about his design process for this particular collection, Mark shares that it was actually a trip to Europe, wherein he stopped at London and Italy to source new fabrics, that started everything. He was enamored by the different lavish textiles. In fact, he even had it all shipped to his home so that he could start production. Mark hopes that his newfound international market would love the collection as much as they did with his couture creations as he will be releasing them on international shopping website, Moda Operandi.

fashion insiders share what they really buy on repeat

Did you know that if you type the magic word ‘trend’ into the search bar on the H&M website, your browser adjusts to reveal an edit of only the brand’s newest, most-wanted pieces? Or what about the fact that Net-A-Porter’s new deliveries drop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - so if you shop then, the boots you’ve been wish-listing for months might actually be available in your size for a change. These are the tricks of the trade you only learn when you shop a hell of a lot. For a living, even. So who better to ask for tips on where to buy the very best wardrobe staples than fashion insiders themselves? We’re talking about the buyers, editors and PR gurus who have put in the groundwork and eliminated the fluff to find classics that work harder and feel better than anything else out there.


Here are their gems...

Why the World is Gravitating to Sid Neigum’s Golden Ratio

Why the World is Gravitating to Sid Neigum’s Golden Ratio

Following an introduction from Vogue Arabia, Fashion Forward invited award-winning Canadian designer Sid Neigum to showcase his Spring 2018 collection at Fashion Forward‘s tenth season at d3, Dubai. Canada may not be internationally renowned as a fashion hub, but it’s been churning out talent that has found success overseas—BOF‘s Imran Amed, Tank‘s Caroline Issa, editor Joe Zee, and photographer (and singer) Bryan Adams to name a few. And with homegrown designers like Beaufille and Sid Neigum making waves, the Great North’s talent is taking a large leap across the proverbial pond to showcase in the desert.

In a few short years, the Sid Neigum label—architectural, experimental, and androgynous—has been building steam and quickly. (It’s now sold on Net-a-Porter and Farfetch.) Backstage, Neigum spoke of  math as his starting point, specifically the golden ratio. Frequently found in nature, when used in design, this mathematical proportion creates an eye-pleasing effect.

Opening looks featured navy, blush, and gray viscose separates in loose, flowing fabric. The focus here was on line and proportion with a few surprises in the form of knots and hardware accents: a small chain featured on the hip of a minimalist skirt and a metal ring cinching trousers and the fabric on a black sweater. For women who have shied away from body piercings, on clothes, Neigum shifts the look from grunge to elevated, avant-garde.

The motion climaxed with the reveal of ethereal silk blouses and dresses shaped to ensconce the body like a delicate cocoon. No doubt, Dame Zaha Hadid would have loved it.

Sid Neigum is sold on Netaporter.com, Farfetch.com, and at Boutique 1 in the Middle East.

Jewelry trends at Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Fashion Week

Jewelry trends at Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Fashion Week

After Spring/Summer’s Nineties style tsunami, a wind of fresh innovation blew through the ranks of jewelry designers for Fall/Winter 2016-2017, with cuffs and bracelets over sleeves, strings of pearls, single earrings, layering and safety pins all hitting the runway. Our new jewelry obsessions from New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.

The pearl has been emerging from the cocoon of its rather staid and traditional image for the past few seasons, revisited as ear cuffs and graphic chokers by a new generation of inspired young jewelry designers. But this winter sees a return to its Parisian roots, albeit with a vintage twist, as if it’s been borrowed and paired with denim patches, military jackets and the sports sweaters that are so very now.

.Long, graphic, hoops or earcuffs, the only way to wear earrings right now is on their own. The single earring was one of the biggest trends of the season, first emerging on the runways in New York and London and confirmed as a trend in Paris.

After emerging as a trend for Spring/Summer 2016, the Nineties revival has taken firm hold, producing rebel jewelry to match. With piercings at Dior and elsewhere, chokers with silver-dipped chains and layers of necklaces worn between leather jackets and hoodies, it was chrome and black as far as the eye could see.

Earring mash-ups was another bold statement backed by designers this season, taking in several styles in one look.

After uncut necklaces and pendants appeared on the Spring/Summer 2016 runway, crystal mania took hold with raw stones featuring again on the catwalk for winter. Radically different stones appeared as earrings at Proenza Schouler and provided an anchoring detail to strengthen the impact of clothing at Dries Van Noten and Calvin Klein.

After ear jackets that hang under the lobe and ear cuffs on the cartilage, the earring's latest incarnation cuts right across the ear itself in a balanced and original piece with plenty of character.
