New season trend report from London Fashion Weekend
Today we are taking an exclusive look at womenswear fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2014 because last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to attend London Fashion Weekend at the world famous Somerset House in London. I took hundreds of photographs during the day in order to document the hottest trends at fashion week and I wanted to share these with you so that you can get a flavor of the must-have looks for this season and next. The hottest ticket at London Fashion Weekend was to the runway show of super-star UK designer Julien Macdonald and I managed to sweet-talk myself into getting a ticket at the last minute - so you can imagine my excitement as I took my seat to watch the super-glamorous designs heading down the catwalk.
Spring/Summer 2014 Julien Macdonald collection
The runway show featured an abundance of diamante and sequins and each of the designs followed the new season metallic trend. The stunning outfits were created in gold, pewter, silver and metallic black for a super-sparkly shimmer and we will certainly be seeing these metallic tones reproduced in stores for Spring and Summer 2014. If you don’t want to go for the all-over sequins look, you can simply add a few diamantes in your jewelry or choose a metallic shoe or handbag to follow the trend without being a slave to fashion!
Gold, glitz and glamour at Julien Macdonald
Interestingly the Julien Macdonald dresses were either skin-tight or loose and floating, using stretch lace and chiffon in equal measures, so you can take your pick of which look to follow this season. I would suggest the skin-tight lace and sequins are best suited to evening wear and the flowing chiffon would be best for keeping cool on hot summer days.

Another feature of the designer runway show was soft pastel colors. Traditionally we usually see more pale shades during Spring and Summer and the Julien Macdonald dresses also featured pastel green, pale grey, sofa lilac and nude shades alongside the bold black and metallic block colours. The delicate shades looked fresh and are an easier way to introduce the new season trends into your everyday wardrobe.
