In which an LFW Daily editor test drives a piece of clothing or two in the name of sartorial research for women with lumps and bumps
Just what is acceptable work wear during the most on-parade week of the year for us fashion folk? A week spent creating a broadsheet newspaper and blog dedicated entirely to fashion requires a certain uniform to be worn. It’s not a ‘look at me’ thing. As with most editors, I’m really not looking to stand out. If anything, it’s the complete opposite, but in a considered, ‘I know what works and what doesn’t, ergo am sporting THIS’ kind of way.

Step forward M&S. Not only have their non VPL pants been a life saver, the denim Limited Collection shirt dress and cashmere stripey scarf [worn today as belt, worn yesterday at our midnight production meeting as turban] among other fashionable attire is today’s thoughtful get up.

What better validation of choice than discovering my younger, exceedingly cooler co worker Blue Hammond wore the same kind of thing but for boys? More from Jeremy Dyson’s Shop Gear later…

    Grans and grandads, lock up your husky jackets, outerwear is having a moment. Our old friend the coat does, of course, make up the flavour of winter but this season London designers have played the cover up centre stage.

    Designers are especially concerned with jackets and coats this season,” Harrods’ Fashion and Beauty Director Marigay Mckee told The LFW Daily. Bombers are the particular favourite along with the military style jackets,” she said.

    Burberry based an entire collection around aviator jackets while Charles Anastase layered knitwear on top of overcoats. Daks took the husky and gave it an up to date, eccentric spin via leggings, capes and bonnets from the traditional fabric. Design duo Basso & Brooke weaved Trompe-l’œil goretex anoraks into their ensemble and at Aquascutum Michael Herz transformed tailored jackets into full-length dresses. Meanwhile, at Mens day today [Wed], E Tautz featured the ultimate in deluxe outerwear courtesy a cashmere fit for a prince. Luckily one [HRH Prince Michael] was sitting front row and was seemingly rather taken by it.
