I'm trying to keep up to speed with all the shows that are going on at LFW this week and I feel like I'm a part of it, if only in a virtual sense. I'm going to be checking out the live stream of the Topshop Unique show in just under half an hour...so there's just enough time to write out a post about my favourite show from day 2 of LFW...Jonathan Saunders A/W 11.
This collection is similar to the Paul Costelloe one from Day 1 as in all of the pieces are completely wearable, and that is what really stands out to me in a show. If I can imagine people in the street wearing these pieces, then they are a definite hit for me. The Jonathan Saunders Autumn/Winter collection for 2011 is full of mid length, below the knee skirts and dresses in elongated silhouettes.
Silk blouses and chiffon shirts and skirts were hugely dominant in the show. The chiffon dresses are a particular favourite of mine, great for autumn days, teamed with tights and heels.
The chiffon blouse trend is also continuing with an extra element of detail and I'm loving the contrasting colours and patterns. Silk shirts with sharp collars look bright and cheerful with a smart skirt and heels.
Deep Wine and blue coloured coats allow brightly coloured skirts to add oomph to the outfit and cinched in waists and empire lines give some much needed definition.

Yes this is one of my faves so far too. Nice simple, wearable shapes and some very mice pattern mixing going on there too.
