Although it’s been an awesome week and lots of fun, I have to confess that towards the end of LMFF one collection started to look very much the same as the next. This probably wasn’t helped by the fact that pretty much every designer embraced the 80s with open (and of course, wide shouldered) arms.
The Renegades Fashion Collection was something of a breath of fresh air – much less interested in achieving sophistication than showing good, strong designs. This was particularly true for the men’s fashion labels, which seemed to be stuck in stilted, semi-formal styles for most of the parades.

Stevie – why strut when you can dance?
Stevie seemed to be the crowd favourite of the night, with loud music and dancing models. Fortunately they did a proper parade after this opening – it was bloody hard to get a look at the clothes.
