It was soon time to hustle into the lower main hall for my favourite show of the season – Ones To Watch at Fashion Scout Autumn Winter 2015. When Vita Coco asked me whether there were any shows I was keen on watching, I jumped at the chance for this one. It’s always a fantastic showcase of emerging designers, often showing four or five different collections in one sitting, all from global designers who have won the chance to show their talent to one of the largest business and buying audiences possible. There’s always a fab variety of global style and it is always the most enjoyable show for me.

 

 

This season the Ones to Watch included Angel Chen, J Moon, Kim Stevenson and Minju Kim. First up was Angel Chin, a chinese label published in fashion magazines such as Vogue and growing a huge following. Her designs are based on her own eccentric character, with tons of colour, clashing patterns and different fabrics. I feel like there were definitely fairytale vibes in this! Definitely not your every day look, but totally creative and so enjoyable to watch.

Next up was the geometric heaven of J Moon – I REALLY loved this collection and it was the most similar to my personal style that I saw whilst at Fashion Week this February. Although J Moon owes her inspirations to trying out new shapes and fabrics, there is just something about this collection which I feel is beautifully retro. It reminded me of the block colour and box shapes of the 1960’s, and is what I would consider to be the most ready to wear of the collections I saw.

Third was Minju Kim’s collection. This collection saw a lot of exaggerated shapes – think extreme curves, oversized dresses and coats, and huge peplums. There was also tons of different textures in this one and each design in the collection was totally different from the last. Another interesting ‘one to watch’… Haha!

After taking everything in, it was back to the press lounge to take everything in and start writing up my blog notes. After a quick chill out and freshen up, I was whisked off by Vita Coco to take some photos with their photographer(s)! We took some fancy Outfit of the Day pictures (which I am hoping to share with you later this week) and some cool polaroid shots outside the Freemasons Hall.

Over all, it was a really exciting but tiring day. Fashion Week always takes it out of me – I used to think it was the journey from Manchester that did it, but it seems all bloggers are in a consensus as to how exhausting it really is. However, I wouldn’t miss it for the world and I thank Vita Coco for sending me along this season. Here’s to many more!
