Located in a car park central London on Saturday night, the House of Holland show was full of more energy than ever before. The theme was "Granny Rave" with a nod to shag carpeting that lined the runway and curtain prints, grass greens and putrid pinks making a big comeback, but with a 1989 setting. Henry describes the show as, "part Disco Sally and Summer of Love ‘89. The look is Nana Rave in a car park. Like I've kidnapped my grandmother, and dressed her in her old curtains."
The soundtrack: Such A Good Feeling by Brothers in Rhythm
Front row: Pixie Geldof, Jaime Winstone, Daisy Lowe, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Nicola Roberts
Post show highlight: Nicola Roberts tweeting “My favourite EVER HOH collection!! Henry IS London fashion week."
This month sees the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness settle in, making me yearn for the cosy knits of Autumn. JW Anderson and Mulberry have both delivered fun prints on that front, and Orla Kiely ticks two big trends — shearling and oxblood — in a fab coat. Let's not forget party time, though, with a statement collar from Karl Lagerfeld and a metallic Topshop clutch that could have come off the Spring 2013 Fashion Week catwalks. On the beauty front, I'm all about exciting collaborations from MAC, a new Chanel collection, bright eyes courtesy of Benefit, purse-friendly Ted Baker fragrances and an eyelash treat from RapidShield.
