Lately In London

London Fashion Week

Spring / Summer 2019

From cross-dressing at Erdem to karaoke with Victoria Beckham, Hayley Bloomingdale lets us in on all the action at London Fashion Week.

Apologies if it seems like every LFW recap starts with the weather but this season it’s with good reason, I promise. The sun shone almost the entire week! In a rare role reversal, NYFW got all the rain and the glorious sun bestowed itself upon all of us here in London.

“Word on the street is that late night karaoke led to a brief return of Posh Spice telling us all what we want, what we really really want.”

“Faux petals poetically dripped onto the runway, perfectly mirroring the same shapes in his flowing gowns.”

The party of the week was definitely British Vogue’s fete in honor of Victoria Beckham’s ten years; word on the street is that late night karaoke led to a brief return of Posh Spice telling us all what we want, what we really, really want.

Trenches were left at home and summer dresses stretched an extra week as the fashion set readied for a weekend of shows in the sunshine. Saturday was off to a flying start with national treasure Alexa Chung’s first runway show at 11am, followed by fashion’s golden boy JW Anderson to in the afternoon, and then, finally, the marvelous Mary Katrantzou’s 10-year anniversary extravaganza. The center of the runway showcased 40 pieces from Katrantzou’s archives, so we could all relive her biggest hits from the past while drooling over the new ones.
