This week, it's been pretty tricky to escape the mention of a certain London College of Fashion, and it's got me all excited for moving down to London to start a fashion journalism course next September!
First came the amaaaazing LCF for New Look shoe collection with some seriously gorgeous footwear (the multi-coloured wedges above were a personal favourite!) and then the graduate shows showcasing the fashion stars of the future! Buzzing? Me? Never...
To check out all the LCF graduate collections, if you didn't see the live streaming of the shows, click here! It's definitely not one to miss out on.

A beautiful fusion of sportswear with amazingly crafted and well-made pieces.
KATHY LAM
(BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear)
Porcelain print-inspired, this striking collection was very unique but full of abstract beauty.
JOHANNA PIHL
(BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear)
One of my favourites- the beautiful lines were very fresh. The collection was based on "the juxtaposition of our natural form and the cold metals of machinery": read more here.

(BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear)
Outlandish and eclectic, I absolutely love the vivid mix of colours and textures of this exotic collection.
(BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear)
My favourite of the collections- certainly a name to look out for in the future. Beautiful shades, embellished with heavy metal with a delicate touch. Influenced by the "industrial revolution of Great Britain in Victorian era", this collection really is fantastic. I suggest reading more here.

The images are absolutely gorgeous, and the dying technique and colours are stunning. Inspired by a trip to Tibet, this collection is full of life and energy.
SAMUEL JOHNSON
(BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear)
This collection was another of my favourites- a little bit Christopher Kane in some respects, but that might just be the coloured lace swaying me! The inspiration is very intriguing with the designer saying: "capturing the subjects in an ugly yet charming way conceived the collection." Read more here.
How very promising British fashion is of late, the future looks bright!
