Temperley:

Return to Elegance was the collection title and the collection absolutely lived up to its name. A truly awe-inspiring show, Alice Temperley brought the fifties back to life with stunning full skirts cinched at the waist and patterned dresses with the most delicate of colours. Gone were her batwing sleeve and boho embroidery – this show was almost a nod to couture. Clean stripes of tulle, lace and satin made up these exquisite designs. Accessorised with the odd glove and sunglasses, it was almost as if it was debutantes parading themselves around a ballroom. 

Philip Treacy: 

As a show that was flying slightly under the radar for me, I was speechless by the end of the collection. While there had been rumours that Lady Gaga would be attending the show, I was still taken aback when she actually opened the show and then sat in front of me in her Isabella Blow burka in all its glory! (Pictured below, courtesy of Jason Lloyd Evans) She was also sporting a gargantuan Swarovski crystal ring. This was Philip Treacy's return to London Fashion Week after a decade and the show was Michael Jackson-themed.  So it was appropriate fitting that all the models should wear Jackson's stage costumes with Treacy headgear. It was simply the most extraordinary show I have ever witnessed. It was a huge fashion moment as well with his choice to only use solely black women. "The show was homage to African women and their sensibility to dress up, " says Treacy.  A cascading black veil with the iconic Jackson crystal glove and a crystal-adorned helmet worn with a gold and silver suit worn by jackson on his 1996-1997 History world tour were just two of the amazing looks that walked down the hall of The Royal Courts of Justice that day. 

Burberry:

It's 4pm and the only show to be at is Burberry, of course. The epitome of British fashion, you wonder what wonderful surprises Christopher Bailey has in store for us for S/S13. Quite different from his previous shows with more fantastical and playful pieces, Bailey described this season as being " a little bit sassier, a little bit sexier and a little bit more joyful”. The classic trench was seen in the purest of white at the beginning of the show (worn by Cara Delevingne ) while the final coats were given a Willy Wonka or Quality Street wrapper treatment (metallic pink, turquoise, purple and green). Luxe jewel tones, coppered lace and stunning dresses with kick pleats will definitely be on everyone's wish list. Transparent coloured capes and bags accessorised these fabulous looks with a peep toe wedge in a variety of colours and patterns. It was truly delicious.

Mulberry:

And finally I end LFW by entering Mulberry's English Garden at Claridges with a multitude of dip-dyed gnomes and grass lining, welcoming all the guests. Mulberry has never been a brand to leave any detail unturned and S/S 2013 was no exception. Delicious fresh juices were on offer before the show and if that wasn't enough for your sweet tooth, there were giant slices of cake, too. Sorbet-coloured Mulberry trees decorated the catwalk entrance, putting us all in a summery mood. Nestled among these beautiful trees were geckos – a reference to one of the key prints in the upcoming collection. Pastel colours and caramel leathers were seen throughout with even a catwalk strutting poodle wearing the latest Mulberry print. Seventies-inspired pleated skirts were accessoried with what I think I can safely say will be a best seller – the Willow bag – a shopper that has a detachable clutch. What more could a Mulberry girl ask for?
