Continuing with Rodarte's tribal inspired fashion catwalk show, im researching other designers that have found the same inspiration.
A few designers turned to nature for inspiration on the opening day of London Fashion Week, showing a collection of sheer silk dresses, with delicate embroidery and elegant show pieces all having a floral-inspired trend running through the collection.
London took over from New York, which was prior to us in the UK.
New York seemed to end with sparkly dresses and bold geometric prints, with a not so bold color palette of pastels and faded dip-dyes.
Antoni & Alison who are designers opened the day with a series of quirky silk printed dresses, Fyodor Golan the next designer, whose show was in the grandiose lounge of the Waldorf Hilton and inspired by Mayan and Aztec cultures.
Models floated down the steps in shift dresses, loose kaftans and bold show pieces varying in electric blue, canary yellow, autumnal amber, and bright pink hues, with intricate beading embroidery and tribal-inspired prints and cutouts.
this is a quote of what designer Fyodor Podgorny said after their show.
"We wanted to show lightness and spirituality and at the same time to have that sexuality there. So it's that contrast but it's not in your face, it's still strong and gives you power but it's very emotional, something that will engage you"
The designer kept the look neutral, with slicked back ponytails and bare faces on models offset by delicate painted tribal tattoos and intricate facial jewellery covering eyes and noses.
Corrie Nielsen another designer, her collection was entitled 'Florilegium' was inspired by the Royal Botanic gardens in London and Japanese artist Makoto Murayama.
"Everything has been cut three-dimensionally and shaped, inspired from the flower," Nielsen has said.
The collection also featured sleek tailored pieces alongside dip-dyed silk blouses and origami-folded jackets in pale yellows, pinks and creams.
Sheer dresses embellished with embroidered appliqué details in icy blues, mint greens and lilacs were seen at Bora Aksu.
Romantic florals and pastels were definitely the main focus of this years opening day of London Fashion Week but Felder Felder added an edgy twist to their spring collection, teaming bold hues and muted leopard prints with floaty fabrics and shortening hemlines of shredded knitwear dresses.
