Clothes Over People: In Moda

This past week has been amazing-and hectic- as I've had a chance to see some of the amazing talent that London fashion designers have to offer. London is filled with a diverse, cultured group of people and it was great to see all that diversity and creativity represented in the best way possible, draped over a beautiful person with bright lights and music. If you haven't realized already I'm referring to London Fashion week.

Last Friday to kick off Clothes Over Peoples' LFW we went to the In Moda fashion show in Shoreditch. It was a great show with designers showcasing their astonishing collections which not only made me want to find somewhere to wear these amazing clothes but also made me think about some bigger issues like climate change.

Two of the collections that really stood out to me were the CrysChrisCouture collection and the Clime It Brothers collection.

The CrysChrisCouture collection was full of beautiful and elegant pieces that would make you stand out in any room. I was also lucky enough to meet the designer beforehand and for the first time in my life being early for something- I guess there was some truth in that early bird, worm saying. The designer, Margaret was so nice and still looked amazing even after working all day preparing for the show and barely having anything to eat but some dry bread! Her hard work paid off as her collection definitely astonished everyone including myself and my sister.

The Clime It Brothers collection was another one of my favourites. Their collection was street wear and so was full of t-shirts and jumpers with stunning prints on them that envisioned polar bears and melting ice caps as a result of climate change. It reminded me that fashion isn't always just done for fun or to make a profit but it is also a great platform to use for bringing attention to important issues that we all need to look at.
