Posts Tagged ‘London Fashion Week’

Was lucky to be invited to the to the SADO catwalk show held at the Science Museum, London.

Even managed to grab a front row seat without pushing anyone out of the way. Sat next to the new designer Delia Covezzi who, although did not have her own show ,was wearing a few of her Autumn/Winter pieces. She looked fantastic and I especially loved the grey tweed trench coat she wore.

I also saw my old callanetics teacher which has to be about 10yrs ago since I went to one of her classes. I instantly recognised her from the large lilac felt hat she was wearing ( looked like a flower). From a personal stylist’s point of view, the hat really was for Ascot use, but it did get her noticed – and that probably was her objective. My tip is if you want to wear a statement piece make sure everything else is toned down. This way your clothes are not fighting for attention and  it will make the whole outfit look classier.

The actual show had great styles which coould be worn by real women and not just catwalk models.(Obviously the sizes would have to be changed) The dominant colour was different shades of grey with the occasional splash of pomegranate red and ochre. The style was tailored but soflty slouchy. SADO’s signature is stylish and classical – this season’s collection did not disappoint.

The young designer for the SADO label is Russian born Carlotta Gherzi (of Italian parents) who brings a modern, elegant edge to the label.
