The start of the AW19 Fashion Month, saw London kick things off in true British style, with Anya Hindmarch’s heart balloons transforming London’s iconic skyline, ensuring love is in the air.
With love and acceptance in the air, London became a hub for fashion’s most stylish crowd. Continuing from last season’s successful LFW press coverage, numerous influencers including stylist, models and bloggers, graced the streets of London’s dressed head to toe in Fashion Crossover designers. It was extremely rewarding to see our emerging designers being worn to various formidable fashion events, and turning the streets into a fashion frenzy.
We are proud to see fashion and lifestyle blogger, Natalia styling her several LFW outfits entirely around our designers at Fashion Crossover. Natalia is pictured wearing an entire look by our Marangoni alumni designer,
Viola Menchini. Natalie is wearing Viola’s iconic printed dress, glasses and bag from her L’Amor Perduto’ collection. Relishing in the month of love, Natalia also wore a handmade knit dress by our designer Elizabeth An'Marie, embroidered with the self love slogan ‘BEST ME EVER’. Natalie was also photographed wearing mesh one sleeve jacket by CSM designer Christoph Ritter and paired with a black leather bag by
Gofefe.
Croatian model, Marko Vrbos, ensured all eyes were on him. Dressed head to toe in Fashion Crossover designers, Marko posed and the photographers congregated around him. Dressed in a full look by menswear designer,
Grace Haggerty, the red on red certainly made a statement. Marko was also photographed wearing a peachy orange leather coat, by our designer Chieh An Su. The pop of orange was the focal point of the look. Another infamous look was by our LCF alumni, Mengying, with her white jacket giving space age vibes, creating a showstopping look.
Fashion journalist, Stefan Howarth, is a fashion week patron gracing the infamous FROW at a number of shows. This season Stefan wore many eye-catching looks, many by our designers. Stefan stood out from the crowd in a variety of bold print looks. With
Hope Macaulay’s bols prints from her ‘Surreal Rome’ collection,
Holly Macleod’s colourful and eccentric prints and of course
Viola Menchini iconic red, pink and white printed floor length coat.
Another influencer wearing our designers to LFW, was the beautiful Haper Silin. Harper became a streetstyle sensation, with her looks featuring on a number of publications including British Vogue, Notcis Magazine, Glass Magazine, Vogue Ukraine and Elle Poland. Harper wore two full looks by Fashion Crossover, with Hope Macaulay’s chunky knit cardigan and printed dress and
Viola Menchini duchess silk red cape jacket with matching red ruffle skirt and accessorised with Viola’s red flower purse.
London based stylist and founder of Dank Model Management, Ceecee often wears our emerging designers to several exclusive fashion events, including the celeb packed after-party for Queen Elizabeth II Award Winner, Bethany Williams. Pictured alongside Girls Aloud royalty, Nicola Roberts, at the Markus Lupfer presentation, Ceecee was wearing grey printed coat by Vols & Original and blue striped trousers by LCF alumni and menswear designer Yueqi Lee.
Another renowned fashion stylist, David Cochrane styled our designers to create a chic menswear look. Photographed on the FROW of both Rocky Star and Atelier Zuhra, David wore oversized hoodie by LCF alumni
Alice Pons. David also attended various shows wrapping up warm in our stylish
Vols & Original grey and black animal print.
This season we also dressed two models who walked in a number of shows such as Gaeyon Lee, i-am-chen. Louise De Rycke and Ruby Sida, both signed with First Model Management, attended several fashion week after-parties wearing our designers. Louise was photographed wearing an oversized knit jumper adorned with the slogan ‘LIVING OFF RESERVES’, from
Sophie Bailey’s collection which payed conscious consideration to sustainability and the impact of fast fashion. Ruby was photographed wearing wide leg brown velvet trousers from our Maranogni alumni and Norwegian designer,
Ilona Hars.
Our designers were well-represented this LFW, yet it would be a shame to disregard all the other outstanding streetstyle, signature to London. Here are some of our favourite looks for the fall-season. Prepare yourself for a lot of colour, texture and prints.
