Centrefold@London Fashion Week SS 2010 - Show Reports

Meadham Kirchhoff Spring/Summer 2010 Ready-to-Wear

Famed for their gothic-grunge aesthetics, the pair softened the deconstructed edges via the addition of soft Victorian-inspired lace, tactile textures and smatterings of a more feminised colour palette. Draped chiffon dresses and tops ranged from haphazardly crumpled, and crinkled with random pleats to almost slipping from the shoulders. Jackets were either short cropped, tailored and lace edged, casually sporty or highly ruched. This hard meets soft imagery made for an affair of mixed successes.

Resplendence reigned in the navy tulle dress which heaved under the weight of what looked like a million tiny belfry bats, but were actually velvet bows. A thing of sheer beauty over a basic black tee and pants, it felt as though it might fall away at any moment. The cross slashed knee trousers were both cool and wearable whether straight up and down or piped with shiny fabric while the neutral toned barely there dresses proved that MK could excel at pretty. However, the sweaters were unmemorable and the boxy tees were scrappy at best. Once we'd tread halfway to Victoriana, it made us wonder what else the boys had up their sleeves in this direction, and away from those rucksack waistcoats that resembled oddly deflated parachutes.

PPQ - Spring/Summer 2010 - Ready-to-Wear

Excitable hordes scrambled for a prime-positioned seat to view the collection of the label du jour for the young, hip and fashion obsessed. Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker's designs have long been favourites of the new 'It Crowd' and its hangers on, and the duo didn't disappoint their eager clientele. The all-black model cast sashayed down the catwalk clad in an array of playful garments. Hair was worn in gravity-defying, plaited buns with a mildly Egyptian vibe while faces were kept matte, youthful and doll-like. The pink cheeks, lips and impossibly glittery eyelashes were reminiscent of vintage Sindy.

The collection was dominated by sky-high hemlines, bright hues and loose, soft fabrics that fell casually about the body. Multi-coloured knitwear, graphic print sundresses, hareem trousers in hot pink and purple silks featured alongside tight tiered and pencil skirts, worn with leisurely, V slashed shirts and jackets. Everything screamed under-25, queen bee who gives just the right amount of a damn. The high-waisted trousers, maxi event dresses, capelets and polka dotted, ruffle neck playsuit made up for the sometimes slightly ill-fitting pieces that crept into the line-up. We weren't overly keen on the cutesy but pointless 'P' motif swimsuit or the pink and white, bow front prom look but for overall sass, fun and spark, PPQ get an A.

Sproused Up for Louis Vuitton.

The imaginings of Marc Jacobs and late artist Stephen Sprouse, these uncompromising, at times brash and confrontational prints work their neon magic in this image which was shot by Centrefold Editor-in-Chief and co-founder, Andrew G. Hobbs as part of a set for Louis Vuitton. In tribute to the artist who merged high-fashion glamour with street spirit, Jacobs created this Spring/Summer 2009 collection, a fitting homage to his iconic collaborator, Sprouse.

Inspired by the vibrant, pop-art-esque nature of the patterns, hues and designs, Andrew G. Hobbs sought to create a vision of Sprouse and Jacobs' work that was bold, playful and full of attitude.

Everything you see I chose and selected from right here, just scatching the surface of what's on offer."
