Ribeiro mixed up graphic monochrome, pings of pink and orange and a print that was based on an eastern European top (next picture), probably from the Balkans, which the designers photographed and then developed into this collection's print

London Fashion Week: Simone Rocha

Rocha explained her look as 'Irish kids with a tribe in Papua New Guinea'. She wanted to mix textures - tweed with tulle, say, or using the silver leather of shoes to make clothes

London fashion week : Markus Lupfer 2
Markus Lupfer
Markus Lupfer is the man who made the novelty jumper chic. His sequinned gap-tooth smile is a fixture of every weekend wardrobe worth coveting, and he has achieved what many London designers don't: a strong business. (Last season's sales were his strongest yet)

London fashion week : Markus Lupfer jumper
Markus Lupfer
For autumn 2012 his sweaters come emblazoned with pop art slogans or eternal mottos: 'Love Conquers All', 'Carpe Diem' and (an important lesson for fashion week, this) 'Don't forget to smile.' Also strong are brocade party dresses, leather-effect bomber jackets, and silk blouses. "I have learnt what my customer wants from me," said Lupfer as he showed off the new collection
