Every city's Fashion Week has its own unique vibe. Feminine lace, ladylike silhouettes, and masterful tailoring are all London catwalk staples. From the sidewalk to the runway, we've rounded up the most spectacular style moments from London Town.
Antonio Berardi might not be a household name (yet!) but the label probably rings a bell for any red carpet followers. Celebs like Beyonce and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have offered a healthy dose of sex appeal to the brand's dresses. For Fall 2012, the designer exercised his exquisite tailoring skills by featuring a collection of crisp dresses and coats with splashes of aqua.
Rihanna knows a thing or two about turning heads. For the Stella McCartney presentation, she showed off her enviable figure in this emerald silk gown. Who knew this sort of sheen could actually be flattering? Perhaps only on the pop princess.
We're still eagerly awaiting the Alexander McQueen collection come Paris Fashion Week, but Sarah Burton saves some of her brilliance for her diffusion line, McQ. The fall collection was surprisingly wearable, filled with classic silhouettes made of velvet and lace. We see Dita Von Teese hitting up this black number, gloves and all.
Osman's hooded knit dress is sure to be a hit with lovers of Bianca Jagger's '70s style (that's you, Vanessa Hudgens!). The sexy aura this emits is palpable.
Vivienne Westwood's signature look is her draped corset dresses, but this season she dabbled in menswear-inspired looks like these plaid drop-crotch trousers. Gwen Stefani will have her hands on these in no time.
Giles balanced art with wearability for Fall 2012. Doutzen Kroes debuted one of the most notable pieces: This layered cream dress featuring singed edges for an intriguing burnt paper effect.
Moschino's diffusion line is a favorite because of its youthful girly-girl aesthetic. This pink coat with a ruffled hem and multicolor fur collar epitomized the fall line's feminine charm.
One of Kate Middleton's favorite brands, Temperley London, showcased classic British looks with a twist. This Victorian embroidered neckline with modern cutout shoulders is a prime example. The Duchess, however, is more likely to dazzle us in one the label's silky Grecian gowns (minus the toasty headwear, of course).
We have yet to see Kate Moss strut down a catwalk this season (we're waiting on her bi-annual Louis Vuitton saunter). We did, however, catch a glimpse of her fabulosity at the Stella McCartney presentation. The sheer panels of this number took the LBD to a whole new level.
Red wasn't prominent in London like it was in NYC, so we were delighted to feast our eyes on Jonathan Saunders' fiery sheath dress after a slew of muted collections. The juxtaposition of the saturated color on a basic silhouette makes this look particularly compelling.
