The last day of the ‘A La Mode’ International LFW show which took place on Sunday 20th February, was attended by a packed house of key Industry figures who included Fashion Editors, Top Stylists, Buyers and a selection of upscale consumers.
Opening the show with her stunning and elegant couture gowns was London based designer Luna Sky. The beautiful collection, consisting mainly of black and white pieces, represented innocence and purity and symbolised her personal motto being 'La vita bella' – Life is beautiful. Luna feels every girl deserves to be a princess and her drive is to create a beautiful lifestyle for modern girls and women.
Luna Sky will also be showcasing her stunning pieces at Milan Fashion Week. Her collections are sold globally in Italy, France, UK, USA, Canada, Japan and Hong Kong.
Next up was London based designer Omar Mansoor who was showcasing during London Fashion Week for the second consecutive season. Omar presented his new collection entitled ‘Paradise Lost’ which was inspired by the Garden of Eden. The collection comprised of two key colours being Lilac and aniseed green. The use of woven lace flowers, layers of sheer fabrics, asymmetrical hemlines and dramatic necklines throughout the collection all symbolised the story of ‘Sin, Angels, Curiosity and Beauty’.
Nigerian designer Ngozi of Zed Eye brought us a magnificent selection of Royal Blue Jackets complimented by extravagant faux fur and feather trimmings. The collection entitled ‘50’s!30’s!20’s’ reflects the liberation of the Twenties combined with the elegance of the Thirties, juxtaposed with the femininity and romance of the Fifties.
