SHAO-YEN CHEN

A few months back (actually almost a year ago), I posted this London Fashion Week recap. Central Saint Martins is amongst the ones that show during LFW (their graduation collections) and I was really impressed with a lot of the students.

One of them was Shao-Yen Chen who showed his AW2010 collection. He had these beautiful all-white dresses made out of cheerleader pom-poms (you can peep one in last year's post) and I have to admit I kind of forgot about them untill I saw a dress in the new Fashion156 issue (The Minimalist Sports issue) that really blew me away. I was so happy when I found out it was in fact a dress by Shao-Yen as well!

This is from his newest SS2011 collection, called 'Skin'. There's a video that showcases the entire collection and I've added some of the lookbook pictures as well. Enjoy & keep an eye out for him in the future!

LFW - ALL IN ONE POST

As promised, a recap of London Fashion Week!

1// BURBERRY

A lot of the jackets & dresses were a bit over the top for me (think BIG aviator jackets), but these looks are quite nice, right?

2// CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS

Central Saint Martins class of 2010, well done! Here are the designers:

Matthew Harding // Jackie JS Lee // Joanna Green
Tze Goh // Yusuke Maegawa // Angeline Lam
Thomas Tait // Shao-Yen Chen // Rok Hwang


And we're allowed to pick favourites, right? This is by Lilly Heine. Great!

Keep an eye out for them in the future!

3// CHARLES ANASTASE

Simple & sweet, just as I was expecting from him.

4// CHRISTOPHER KANE

I feel like everytime I see a new Chrisopher Kane collection, I ask myself: is this really his?? He's great at reinventing his brand, it takes some getting used to at first, but at least he's taking the risk. Me love you long time, Christopher Kane.

5// ERDEM

Too much you say? Whatever, it's still lovely.

6// JONATHAN SAUNDERS

Jonathan Saunders always has great graphic prints, and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed (just a LITTLE), but I still like the collection.

7// JULIEN MACDONALD

Again, this is not something I'd usually post, but you have to admit it looks pretty nice.
