Last season Antoni and Alison woke us up with some industrial style music, a bit harsh on the ears for nine in the morning, but this season a brass band was the music for the designers’ 25 th anniversary show. In a spoken piece from the designers before the show began, we were told that the designers locked themselves away for four days and painted.The designs that they came up with, became the grounding for this collection. Billowing silk dresses (the Antoni and Alison staple) came flowing down the runway with intricate designs upon them. Whether they were mid-length or floor length the two designers seemed to cover the whole spectrum. We saw delicate floral patterning, bejewelled printing and a soft feather dye print on dresses and the introduction of a jacket was also brought in this season. Overall an enjoyable collection from the two designers and a perfect way to kick start FashionWeek.

If you long for tennis in the summer, then David Koma has the uniform for you as he cited the female tennis player as his inspiration this season. Koma re-worked the typical tennis dress into something more graphic, bold and completely overstated.The dresses focused on the shape of the body and only oozed sexiness; there was a main focus on texture and colour-wise we saw tennis green and oranges. Netted dresses were also available, which referenced tennis nets and the upside down T on many of the dresses gave the collection a uniquely sporty feel to it.
