RAFW Day 1

Lover

I have been lustfully stalking the internet and drooling over collections from Day One of RAFW!

My favorite collection from the day is without a doubt LOVER. With Catherine Middleton's wedding only days ago I'm sure that this design team were relieved to find lace feature heavily in her McQueen dress understanding the influence such an iconic piece of formal wear will have on the fashion pack's purchasing decisions over the next couple of seasons.

Another collection of note was Alex Perry's use of floor length hemlines and bold colour blocking. The angular square necklines on many of the dresses caught my eye although fans like myself who are larger than a c-cup may feel uncomfortable in some of the high necklines of this collection.

Gail Sorronda's white highlights caught my eye with her pleated chiffon moving off the catwalk and onto my "lust-have"  list for Spring/Summer 11/12. Beautiful proportions!

Congratulations to everyone who makes this week happen. 

For those designers still to show I'm sending you glitter and keeping my fingers crossed that the fashion pack discovers some hidden treasures this week.
