LFW: Zoe Jordan AW13

It's that time of year again, where I suddenly realise I own NO CLOTHING and my feet feel like they have died- London Fashion Week.

Following on from opening last season, Zoe Jordan kicked off the proceedings, this time at the main show space at Somerset House. I'm a huge fan of Zoe's and once again she didn't disappoint.

True to form the collection was cool as a cucumber, oozing that effortless elegance that one so longs for. It displayed a luxe mix of sharp architectural tailoring, minimalistic clean lines and silhouettes and a juxtaposition of textures including tweed and silks. Once again Jordan brought a slight tom-boy playfulness to her collection which for me was greatly received.

The colour palette of greys and monochrome was offset beautifully with bold splashes of raspberry and orange and I loved the fur panelling on the coats.

London Fashion Week: Zoe Jordan SS13

Wow, I can't quite believe that fashion week is back again, I'm still pretending that summer for SS12 is going to hit London any day now and we are now looking at SS13!

Friday- day one of London Fashion week was actually my birthday, so after breakfast in bed (thanks to The Boy) and a few rounds of Stevie Wonder's, Happy Birthday (it's a bit of a tradition to listen to this during present opening), I was off to see my first show of the day- Zoe Jordan.

The collection was sleek and polished as well as super-fun and wearable which meant it ticked all the right boxes for me. Loose, easy-to-wear silhouettes and casual separates mixed with letterman style jackets and leather baseball caps (which I am a little bit in love with) gave the sophisticated collection a sports-influenced, tom-boy vibe.

I particularly enjoyed the use of different textures seen in lightweight silks, all-over beading, leather and suede in bold reds, prints and accents of metallics.

All-in-all the collection was relaxed and effortless and I wouldn't mind owning just about every piece for next summer and it was the perfect way to kick off LFW.
