Paul Costelloe's Show - AW15 LFW Wardolf Hotel

Paul Costelloe's Autumn Winter 15 collection called 'Jewels in the Mist' inspired by 15th Century painter Raphael's home in the village of Corinaldo in the region of Marche did not disappoint. 
I felt very honoured to be invited to view Irish designer Paul's new collection. I loved his Spring Summer offering in September and was intrigued to find out how he would develop his signature silhouettes for Winter. Clever man! he made sure that there was a veritable cornucopia of gorgeous coat styles to feast ones eyes upon.  
Colour choice was abundant, from the safe seasonal transcending 'black' to bolder less safe tempting bright tweeds and pastel pink. His balloon sleeved dresses appeared in super opulent emerald jacquard prints. Give me colour for Winter, lets brighten up those dismal grey shorter days that will return in September this year. But for now we can look forward to enjoying Spring Summer and new coats from Paul Costelloe for next Winter.

Day 1 London Fashion Week AW15 What people wore !

A photo taken in the Press Room at Somerset house. 

A grey first day but at least it didn't rain....

Pretty in Pink

Red net skirt looked great here with a black styling base

Interesting version of Charlie Chaplin in bondage. People dress up to be seen at London Fashion Week, at least the clothes here have some style merits unlike other attempts at getting noticed that I refuse to record!

Black base and splash of bright green works !

I love the texture of this jacket and the bright colour on a grey day did us all some good!

The London Fashion week hat ! here it is with the signature designer hand bag on show.
A good example of how to wear a cape!
Navy the new black ?? maybe, definitely in Paris. 

Here we have floral shoulder pad detail with large spot trousers and a fake fur animal print  back pack.
Well I liked it !

A true fashionista outfit, I do like the funky colours and texture of her jacket 

Check out the nails - this talented designer / journalist has a confident style and knows what suits her

So pleased to see a new way of wearing a white shirt, notice the layers - it was cold yesterday !

Yes back to textures and fake Yeti fur coats, looks cosy and great with jeans

Black leather jacket and gold floral skirt equals style heaven
