London Fashion Week September 2024: A Celebration of British Brands at The Dressing Room

London Fashion Week is a much-anticipated event in the fashion calendar, and September 2024 did not disappoint. The city was alive with creativity, and amidst the innovative designs and breathtaking runway shows, one theme stood out: a celebration of British brands and our love for homegrown talent, highlighting the unique flair and craftsmanship of British designers. From bold colours to maximalist patterns and a revival of 70s nostalgia, the collections certainly delivered.

Bold Colours: A Dazzling Statement

One of the standout trends at London Fashion Week was the use of bold colours, and this was evident in the collections from various British designers.

At The Dressing Room we have always believed in the power of colour to make a statement, and the bold designs from this season’s Mercy Delta collection are a perfect fit for those looking to elevate their wardrobe with playful, confident pieces. This season’s colour palette is not just a feast for the eyes; by incorporating such vibrant shades, these collections encourage everyone to embrace their unique style.

Maximalist Patterns: More is More

Maximalism was another defining theme at this year's London Fashion Week, with a noticeable shift away from minimalistic aesthetics towards a bolder, more layered approach to design. Hayley Menzies continues to make a striking impression with her signature mix of textures and patterns. Her collections featured intricate prints, vibrant embroidery, and unexpected combinations that drew inspiration from vintage textiles. Each piece tells story, showcasing the artistry that goes into creating garments that stand out in any setting.

We love Hayley Menzies at The Dressing Room as her designs allow for personal expression through fashion. For those who enjoy layering and mixing prints, Hayley Menzies’ collection offers endless possibilities for styling, making it a perfect addition to any fashion-forward wardrobe.

70s Nostalgia: A Retro Revival

Another trend that made waves at London Fashion Week was the revival of 70s nostalgia, and British brands embraced this with open arms. Queens of Archive is already at the forefront of this trend, with a collection that combines retro-inspired silhouettes with modern sensibilities. Think flowing maxi dresses, sheer leopard print blouses and playful prints reminiscent of the iconic fashion of the 1970s.

The nostalgic elements of Damson Madder's collections resonate deeply with customers looking for both style and substance. This revival of 70s fashion allows for an exploration of bold prints and relaxed fits, inviting wearers to celebrate their unique style while embracing a sense of nostalgia. The playful colours and patterns not only pay homage to a beloved era but also encourage a carefree approach to dressing.

Leopard is here to stay

At London Fashion Week, the leopard print trend proved its timeless appeal in the fashion landscape. This bold pattern, often associated with confidence and glamour, was seen across various collections, showcasing its versatility and ability to elevate any outfit. Designers embraced leopard print in innovative ways, incorporating it into dresses, outerwear, and accessories, capturing the attention of fashion enthusiasts and trendsetters alike.

Damson Madder makes a noteworthy nod to this trend with its signature pieces that beautifully blend leopard prints with modern silhouettes. By infusing the classic pattern into their collections, Damson Madder not only celebrate the audacity of leopard print but also aligns it with their commitment to sustainability. Each piece is crafted with care, using eco-friendly materials and ethical production practices, making them a favourite among conscious fashionistas.
