London Fashion Week: What's gone down so far


We have just the thing for you - several things, actually.

And as ever, the Central Saint Martins MA line-up didn't disappoint.

Specifically, we mean you, Edwin Mohney. The New Yorker closed the graduate show on Friday night with an inflatable paddling pool dress, Donald Trump rubber masks made into stilettos and what appeared to be a walking condom.

York-based designer and St Martins graduate Matty Bovan debuted his first solo show, with models wearing tweed and tight balaclavas accompanied by square face stickers.

Several took to the catwalk with brightly coloured helium balloons attached to their heads.

But more experienced designers also got in on the action - Pam Hogg showcased large birds on hats, see-through bodysuits and 80s puffball dresses.

Burberry helped launch Cara Delevingne's career
Christopher Bailey's farewell to Burberry brought a splash of colour to the catwalk with a rainbow theme - a symbol to represent the company's financial support for LGBTQ charities.

The designer also harked back to the 80s with shell suits and zipped tracky-style tops plus a possibly ironic homage to the 90s, when the Burberry brand was, ahem, slightly less alluring.

Shearling jackets, oversized chunky knits and puffa jackets featured, too.

"I wanted it to be a reflection of Burberry's past, our present but also my great excitement to see what the future holds for Burberry," he said backstage.

Bailey bowed out with a rainbow faux fur cape worn by Cara Delevingne.

It's not yet known who will take over the reins at the end of next month but Phoebe Philo is hotly tipped, having recently left Celine.
