Trust Your Style Shows Off Vivienne Westwood from London Fashion Week
Linley Hall at London Fashion Week was the setting in play for the latest collection of Adidas by Stella McCartney. The traditional runway was transformed into ‘Stella’s Gym’ so that viewers and guests could see Stella’s work in action, and worn the way it was intended to be worn. By the type of people that the pieces were intended to be worn by – athletes. And just to get her point made crystal clear, the models themselves were none other than Olympic athletes and included stars such as Allyson Felix and Victoria Pendleton. That’s our Stella, whether she is showcasing a RTW collection of fine fabrics and garments, or whether she is showcasing a collection of activewear, she is thinking and designing outside the box. Why? So that her real pieces can be worn by real people, of all shapes and sizes.

Here’s something neat I ran across. The designer is Hannah Marshall and she is one of the hottest names coming out of the UK right now. She has just made her debut on the International Fashion Stage with her first collection called “Quiet Noise”. Each piece is a beautiful cocktail dress with each piece being carefully sculptured, unique, and luxurious. The one thing you will find with Hannah Marshall that you won’t find on any other designers pieces? Many of them have leather detail with the title of the name of the dress being embossed in Braille. THIS is what I love about fashion, the combination of the eclectic, the artistic, and the unique. These are pieces you just won’t find anywhere else and have been featured in Vogue and Elle. You can ONLY pick them up at ninaandlola.com, a retailer specializing in independent work.
This ‘Sculptural’ dress beautifully enhances your curves with a fitted wool bodice and a draped silk velvet skirt.
The ‘Hip’ dress give a dramatic silhouette thanks to the upward side pleats. The vest body is cut very low in the back and would allow for a layer underneath.
This ‘Knot’ dress was featured in Grazia straight after Hannah’s debut in February. The incredibly soft leather skirt is cut high on the waist for a slim and elongated silhouette. The body in wool jersey takes and elegant backseat to ensure the leather, and its detailing, shine all the way through the cocktail hour.
