The shapes were simple enough at Mary Katrantzou‘s London Fashion Week show–long- and cap-sleeved shift dresses, a high-collar vest, a pencil skirt. There was maybe a ruffle or an asymmetric neck, but otherwise all the detail came as a clash of jewels, bows, lace and folds–all prints. It was a clever mix of the new minimalism with the over-the-top ornament of recent seasons. In the closing looks, the show’s flat decoration exploded as ruffles–the 3-D kind–cascading from hips and shoulders.

Fashion news: Jourdan Dunn walks in London, ask Donatella, figure skating fashionistas and more
Photography by Peter Stigter
Is there anything you’ve always wanted to ask Donatella Versace? Well, you officially have the floor. Fans of Versace’s Facebook page can ask the designer questions today, and she will answer via video this Friday. [WWD]
Maternity leave has never seemed so short for models; Heidi Klum walked five weeks after giving birth to her daughter; Gisele was back on the runway six weeks later, and now Jourdan Dunn made her return yesterday at LFW 10 weeks after having a baby boy. The scariest thing about this trend is that 10 weeks now sounds like long leave of absence. [Vogue UK] Read more »

London street style: Big (flower) love
We’re great lovers of wrapping ourselves in a big warm topper, so it’s hard to resist this Lovely’s beautiful robe coat. The oversized purple motif is smartly cropped so you never quite see that it’s a flower (just right for avoiding any granny connotations).

Christopher Kane presented his collection earlier today at London Fashion Week and there’s already video! Kane spun the stodgy idea of floral embroidery onto closely black leather, PVC and lace shifts and skirts.
