London Fashion Week AW12: Basso & Brooke
It’s London Fashion Week and Girl Meets Dress is already sourcing the best dresses of the season so that you can be prepared for next season, now. Today saw LFW kick off with designers including Antoni & Alison, Bora Aksu and Felder Felder showing their latest collections in one of the most fun fashion capitals of the world.
GMD favourite, Basso & Brooke also showed their autumn/winter 2012 collection today and it seems that the Basso & Brooke girl has just returned from a summer of globe trotting; lots of bright colours and patch work shapes took centre stage while Aztec prints and ankle socks suggested that various exotic places in far corners of the world were top of her “must see” list. For her return home to London, Basso & Brooke have referenced the different cultures experienced (think bright patterns), while keeping in mind the unpredictable British weather: dress sleeves are either full length or non-existent, while the length was of midi proportions – warmth is key, but so is looking great. The dresses were teamed simply with clean, relaxed hair and an elegant dark lip: the epitome of sophistication. The London duo have stayed true to their signature bright personality with graphic prints blended with earthy hues, punctuated with jewel tones such as sapphire, topaz and coral; keep this in mind when shopping this season and your summer dress might just see you through to next winter.
Just add socks.
