LFW 2011

If you’re completely unaware that it’s London Fashion Week then you probably don’t have twitter, watch the million pound drop, have fashion forward friends on facebook or pay much attention to the world of fashion in general, if so you’re missing out. I happen to be ticking most of the above boxes. It was the prime minister’s wife who kicked off London Fashion Week at the one and only 10 Downing Street wearing a mid length Christopher Kane skirt. Earlier today Mulberry revealed a new it bag – the Carter, Michael Van der Ham reinvented velvet and Henry Holland was without a mobile on the day of his show. Everybody was drooling over Burberry at lunch time, Paul Smith skipped his way down the runway to take his bow and off the runway, flares and wide legged trousers were everywhere. Anna Wintour was kept thirty minutes late by London traffic before Christopher Kane and Mark Fast showed that his clothes aren’t just for invisible sized girls with skinny vs plus size models.

"the higher the heel, the better"

Since the launch in 2006, it’s becoming harder to miss the London footwear label Charlotte Olympia. Charlotte Dellal (Alice Dellal’s sister) has a collection of statement shoe designs to impress, most of which come with the oversized trademark platform. In the last few months I’ve seen the shoes pop up more and more. I’d say Charlotte Olympia shoes have the perfect mix of a bold statement and style yet easy to wear – if you can cope with a 6inch heel. Dellal’s shoes have been seen on Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Emma Watson. When a shoe designer says “The higher the heel, the better” – it’s surely love. So next time you have a spare £500 something in the bank, perhaps you might want to invest in a pair of quirky Charlotte Olympia heels.

Happy Wednesday
