London Fashion Week February 18th 2012 Post #3: Bernard Chandran

Bernard Chandran's showcase was the last show I saw at London Fashion Week this year; it certainly was a brilliant way to complete an already fantastic day. I was on the front row for this one and received a goodie bag including a makeup set from The Body Shop, hairspray from Label M, and Jelly Belly beans amongst other delights. 

I have grouped the photos into outfits suitable for work / daytime, outfits suitable for the evening and also the end of the show where the models came out in twos. You'll be pleased to see these photos are better quality than the last posts; a perk of being on the front row.

Outfits suitable for work / daytime:

The below outfit is maybe a bit glittery for the daytime; however it could be toned down with a blazer. 

Gorgeous coat; perfect for going on over everything from a suit to a casual day outfit.

Outfits suitable for the evening:



Below is my favourite dress (possibly..) from the collection. It is a beautiful nude shade, and glitters fantastically in the light.  





A bold statement piece:







Close up of the shoes:





Finally, the end of the show: 








Bernard Chandran's designs are eloquent; tailored yet feminine with a slight grunge-esque features. In my view, his designs could be put in the same league in terms of style as French Connection, although subtle details such as exposed zips and shoes with wings make his garments that bit more individual.


Simplistic hair, subtle eyes and loud lips complimented the clothes perfectly. 

His collection included some ideal pieces that could be dressed down for work, beautiful dresses for various events and statement garments if you want to stand out from the crowd.

I'm looking forward to his next show, and in the meantime will endeavour to find some high street clothes which take inspiration from his collection.
