Paul Costelleo - London Fashion Week S/S 2012

To kick off the new Season at London Fashion Week, Paul Costelleo's show was upbeat, colourful and fun. The new collection seems to be more muted then his previous ones but he still included his key traits such as back details and Jacquard dresses. The Menswear was also a strong highlight with bright Purple and Pink suits with contrasting lining for an extra edge and the Women's two piece suites were also elegant and not too flashy for work.

Paul Costelloe - LFW A/W 2011

Paul Costelloe has had a very interesting transition from Spring/Summer to Autumn/Winter.

1950's inspired music, gave an hair of carefree, teenage love that was very much shown in the collection.

The Models, with their triangle cut hair, graced the catwalk in an array of pieces. From twinsets to flippy dresses, the mood that was being set was one of fun and texture for the new winter collection for 2011.

Checks were used in the collection to bring, coats, dresses and other pieces a more heritage feel with some over-sized details such as large pockets, pleats and hoods, giving the traditional cut and silhouette a more modern approach that will appeal to many girls. The colours used varied from Emerald green, pink and purple and all were bright, vibrant and will definitely light up Winter and your wardrobe.

Paul Costelloe 17th Sept LFW SS11

Well I wasn't 100% sure what Paul Costello was going to provide for this New SS11 Collection but it was simply amazing. The collection was introduced with a Lilly Allen track, creating a bouncy girlie vibe that the models played up to!

There was a lot of 1950's Baby doll inspired pieces in Jacquard and metallic that oozed Girlishness and sex kitten at the same time.

I was expecting a safe and tailored collection of suits and business wear for women but none of it even touched the runway. There was also a family touch to the show as Paul's five son's took to the stage and showed off his latest tailoring for men which they looked particularly smart in.

It was a wonderful show to kick off London fashion week, especially when I was starting to think that London fashion was losing it's touch it's touched to New York. So pleased I was wrong!
