Glitter! Plastic! Chiffon! London Fashion Week’s Complete Trend Report
New York was all about the crop top, but leave it to the Brits to get even naughtier, paring the look down to just a skimpy bra. The barely there feminist (?) look was seen at JW Anderson and Versus. Photo: IMAXtree

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Spring/Summer 2016
The ‘90s were a festive, hallucinatory time in England and designers like Christopher Kane and Ashish can’t get enough of every Brit’s favorite throwback time.

BDSM lives on, whether it’s the DIY-style cross body bags harnesses seen at J.W. Anderson, the leather-and-stud bondage style versions at Vivienne Westwood Red Label, or the cotton sashays that criss crossed Simone Rocha’s pretty cotton dresses.
