Military ruled the runway on Monday.First stop tea with Luella, and her models marched down the catwalk in dresses with blown up hook and eye plackets and military caps. The trenchcoat was reworked in khaki and black wool.
The navy suit jacket (left) edged with red also had a military vibe...
Even Julian MacDonald swapped glam for grungy. Showcasing punky looks; holey knits were partnered with ostrich leather trousers and layered under sheepskin and furs.
This green dress with zippered shoulder was reminiscent of Zandra Rhodes' sanitised punk of the seventies.
Jasper Conran lopped the bottom off his trench reinvention for his noir-clad vixens.....
The trend continued at Paul Smith with the designer proclaiming khaki as a sexy colour for women. Harris tweed featured heavily; a pink cocoon piece came with bright yellow epaulettes. Very Sergeant Pepper....
Rising talent William Tempest harked back to Tudor times, abstracting a Hilliard portrait of Elizabeth I for his prints.
Elizabeth's style reigned over the whole collection manifesting itself in stiff shapes and high collars.
