  • Jonathan Saunders 
  • London Fashion Week Fall 2012

Preppy, elegant and ladylike are the first three words that came to mind after reviewing the looks from the latest collection from the recent recipient of the BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund prize, Jonathan Saunders. The beginning of the collection was ruled by equestrian inspiration with stiff collars, riding jackets and classic buttoned up shirts. The looks were defused into a modern woman with the heavy use of metallics, pops of bright unexpected colour and the most beautiful floral prints.  Colour blocking could be found within most looks separating each piece while still being anchored by brown, green and the loveliest poppy red hues. Saunders made great use of texture on many of the flared skirts and coats playing with tweeds, embossed effects and silks. I cannot wait to see what pieces pop up in street style photos from London Fashion Week next season.
