London Fashion Week: Margaret Howell Autumn/Winter 2012
Margaret Howell
Always a calm and quiet start to the day with Margaret Howell, and this season she started with some military green great-coats worn with Scottish Tamo-o-shanter hats, with pom poms on top.

It was simple and utilitarian. The sort of thing you'd wear for a walk on the moor if you were way too stylish for your own good

There was lots of boyish tailoring and a grey wool suit that had something of the Charlie Chaplins about it

Mystery in this show was all about veils and covered eyes. Fabrics that concealed and revealed at the same time. Jewels were trapped under lace and tulle to downplay any flashiness

London Fashion Week: Mulberry Autumn/Winter 2012 show
Mulberry
The clothes are there for fun, and it shows. Creative Director Emma Hill took inspiration from Where the Wild Things Are and the Tim Walker film The Lost Explorer, and mixed in a dash of The Muppets. The result: shaggy Muppet-fur coats and gilets, worn with skinny belts and pencil skirts. Let the Wild Rumpus Begin

London Fashion Week: The Vivienne Westwood show
Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Quintessential Westwood. The tailoring had a masculine Savile Row feel- Edwardian jackets with velvet trim and Jermyn street stripe shirt. This was juxtaposed with feminine tailoring in Westwood's signature checks, tartans, mohair with blankets and capes scattered throughout

London Fashion Week: The Topshop Unique show
Topshop Unique
Topshop Unique was the store's strongest show for years. The influence of new creative director Kate Phelan was clear: these were clothes that cool London girls will want to wear. There were hints of Isabel Marant, touches of Alexander Wang, bits of Stella McCartney - in other words, everything you'd want in your weekend wardrobe, but at Topshop prices
