London fashion week autumn/winter 2012: day five

london fashion week day 5: Meadham Kirchhoff Autumn/Winter 2012
Meadham Kirchhoff
The Meadham Kirchhoff show was like a glam rock disco glitter love-in – see tinsel trousers (and there was also a tinsel shrug). Plus, they even managed to get refrains of Mariah's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' into their jolly soundtrack

A bat necklace, striped lurex tights, glittery glam shoes, a blue face, yellow hair, zig zag brows... it was maximalism at its finest at Meadham

Models threw glitter into the audience, drag colourful fur stoles along the floor and generally got stuck into the celebratory Meadham Kirchhoff vibe. Pass the fun fur coat and snazzy tights

london fashion week day 5: Mary Katrantzou 2012 Autumn/Winter collection
Mary Katrantzou
Wow. Mary Katrantzou delivered one of London fashion weeks stand out shows. Her starting point was finding the beauty in everyday things. So her signature digital prints featured amongst other things: coat hangers, typewriters, gift wrapped presents and tea pots. One stand out was a dress whose skirt was crafted from yellow pencils

Katrantzou isn't just a print genius, she's also interested in creating strong shapes, which for this season included peplums and Victorian bustles. Bravo

Roksanda Ilincic
Ilincic mixed her signature cocktail dresses with more relaxed but still glam separates. Key pieces were luxe sweatshirt hoodies in fine navy jersey and silk, duffle bags with thick rope cords (similar to SS12's belts), monogrammed white shirts with a sweatshirt cuff, a claret jumpsuit and oversized sporty parkas for day and night

Understated glamour and bold colour is Roksanda's USP, for Autum Winter 2012 she moved it in to a more sporty silhouette

Anya Hindmarch
Anya Hindmarch staged her first catwalk show and it was a riot of Quality Street glittery handbags travelling along a conveyor belt. The handbag designer created a factory set, which was a bit Willy Wonka
