Topshop Unique - the autumn/winter 2015 story...

Topshop Unique has become one of the most anticipated shows London Fashion Week has to offer; and this season, like the previous, was truly impressive.

The show always has the best models, the most wearable looks and of course the most prestigious front row - and every season it gets better and better.

With models of the moment Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevinge taking FROW seats, along with the likes of Paloma Faith, Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe, Pixie Lott, Jourdan Dunn and Jessie Ware, the show was a star-studded event that did not disappoint.

Featuring beautiful autumnal colours teamed with neutral tones, floral prints, embroidery - and a rather lovely shade of pastel blue, the collection was quintessentially British and super stunning.

For me one of the best features, and one which I believe will no doubt be extremely popular come fall, was the furry sleeves.

Here are just of few of my highlights from the collection...

NYFW...

Thursday saw New York Fashion Week draw to a close for another season - and what a week it was.

Numerous designers showcased some incredible collections so for this post, I thought I would do a round-up of some of my personal favourites.

Victoria Beckham's collection was as amazing as ever and featured lots of cocooning, sophisticated silhouettes.

There were chunky knits, everything was oversized, yet still stunning, and comfort was very much at the heart of the designs.

Overall, the collection was beautiful - and here are just a few of my favourite looks from the show...

Another highlight of the week was the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, which was quite feminine yet with an element of punk. The studded creepers in particular were a personal favourite - and again here are just a few of the best looks from the show...

Another collection I absolutely loved was Prabal Gurung's! Every ensemble was simple, yet chic and sophisticated - and I have to say I honestly loved every single look to hit the catwalk.

The oversized winter coats featured in the DKNY and Jason Wu shows were also perfection - a garment which I am sure will be a staple piece in many of our wardrobes come autumn.

It wasn't just the models who were showcasing some spectacular ensembles, as below are some of the best looks from the week; sported by none other than the celebrity attendees...
