LFW: Temperley London

  13


Theme:  Alice Temperley stated backstage that the show was 'a tropical mood in a Mediterranean environment'. 

Palette:50 shades of pink, silky colours accented by touches or leopard print.

Beauty:  Hair was pulled back from the face without making it look too harsh, keeping all focus on the clothes.

Key Look:  It is truly hard to pin down just one look from this collection but no13 was a particular favourite.  Combining pink, applique flowers and a silk trim the dress was something of dreams.

Review: There wasn't actually much tropical or Mediterranean about this show but that didn't stop it from being anything short of amazing.  The show began with a '50 shades of pink' theme of volumous proportions before transitioning into a parade of dresses fit for a princess.  Each dress appeared pure in nature and the key was in the detailing which included chiffon flowers sewn onto dresses and coats alike, ribbons stitched to the waist and even leopard print belts.  I'm not fan of leopard print, I'll go as far to say I think it is one of the tackiest prints going, but something about the way it sits on these garments makes me rethink my whole outlook.  I sincerely look forward to seeing this collection on some of our best and brightest (and hopefully myself).
