First the bag, then the shoe. What next for the ultimate statement piece? If the LFW catwalk shows are anything to go by, it’s looking like trousers. Friday’s opening instalments at London Fashion Week saw balloon pants at Jena Theo, tinsel wrapped sheer slacks at BodyAmr, camo bleached denim at Danielle Scutt, cut-out leather and velvet breeches at both Hannah Marshall and Haakan and a whole lot of “sheggings” (shoe joined to leggings) at Bryce Aime. At Daks, meanwhile, the plaid cigarette pants and husky quilted puffer leggings (heggings) had us ooh-ing.
Stay tuned for more updates from the trouser department, reporting from fashion’s front line.
