London Fashion Week SS12: Giles, Felder Felder, Roksanda Ilincic

By -
Who: Giles
What it made us think of: An alien, avian race has come to Earth to recruit for their sorority.
What we liked: silver, cutout lace patterns, buggy sunglasses, feathers
What we didn't: Long fringe looks awful in this fabric. Hit and miss on the swan print. What the sheer?
Who: Felder Felder
What it made us think of: There is a race of warrior women of the future living in the jungle and darn it all if they aren't going to have a chic little party.
What we liked: harnesses, studded shoes, metallic blue
What we didn't: the prints, the tees give me a 90s rash,
Who: Roksanda Ilincic
What it made us think of: Therapy sessions for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder.
What we liked: saffron, orange, teal, rope belts, color block shoes, great work dresses
What we didn't: knit caps, bell sleeves, some of the cuts are too loose for anyone with curves
