New York Fashion Week is over and now it’s time for a new set of designers to dazzle you with their creations for next season, Fashion avec Passion is here to bring you the most spectacular shows from London Fashion Week:
John Rocha
The John Rocha Spring/Summer 2013 show opened with a cheery chromatic palette of red, sunny yellow, baby blue, pale khaki and powdered pink, but the atmosphere soon changed into a more austere one, with the arrival of the all-black and all-white silhouettes.
The entire collection evoked an air of antiquity, with outfits made up of cascades of silk and lace, that had a noble elegance to them, reminiscent of the Edwardian age.

House Of Holland
According to Henry Holland’s vision for next season, the House Of Holland woman is suffering from a severe form of nostalgia…and not just any nostalgia – she misses the grunge era of fashion, en vogue circa 1990s.
To reflect this sentiment, the designer didn’t however take historical accuracy into account all the way. Instead, he imagined a reinterpretation of grunge, in which acid colours could be found on demeure pantsuits, in which checked patterns were blown up and reinvented into a larger form, and crop tops and knit hats were given a glamorous makeover, through the adding of crystal embellishments.
The second part of the show detached itself from the grunge tone, migrating into the 60s. The famous tye-dye technique, promoted by hippies, was used by the designer to create a series of rainbow-coloured looks with youthful appeal.

Issa London
For her signature Spring/Summer 2013 collection Daniella Issa Helayel chose to portray her own vision of what a goddess should look like.
Thus, the Issa goddess stepped out on the runway in gorgeous caftans in silk georgette, floor-length dresses with exotic prints, cigarette-pants embellished with prints reminiscent of tropical rainforests and short cocktail dresses with a generous dose of sex-appeal.

Moschino Cheap & Chic
For the Spring/Summer 2013 season, Rosella Jardini and Francesca Rubino created for Moschino Cheap & Chic a series of colourful, cheery looks, with a powerful sense of optimism and a strong youthful tone. The mix of prints within the same outfit, as well as the mix of fabrics, were the recipe for success in creating a collection of outfits full of vitality.
Crystal-encrusted pantsuits, reminiscent of a cheery-er version of Miuccia Prada’s looks for last season, mesh tops, pineapple bags and neon platform sandals were just some of the elements that provided the line-up with a fresh vibe.
