The Catwalk trends from London Fashion Weekend

I was extremely excited to be heading off to London for ELLE's London fashion weekend. Based at Somerset house, where many designers had their SS15 shows this last week during London fashion week, I sat eagerly awaiting the Trend catwalk, which would soon be influencing what I would be wearing this season. The catwalk was hosted by theoutnet.com, displaying designers such as Iris & ink, Alexander Wang, Oscar de la renta, Lanvin and Balmain. The main trends this season? Hyper florals, Shimmer & Shine, Make it Monochrome and That Seventies show. For how to wear them with high street clothes, keep reading!

As always, florals arrive again in the spring season, and this year they are larger and more vibrant than ever. You'll see them on everything from ankle-grazing dresses to mix-match separates, thanks to the pops of colour and oversized botanical blooms at Marni, Christopher Kane and Peter Pilotto.

The idea is 'blink and you'll miss them sparkles', teamed with shiny metals in silver or pastel. Metallics are like you've never seen them before, with a subtle and shiny elegance that brings them up-to-date with a feminine twist. 

Monochrome will never date, this season Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim went for full monochrome, with bold prints and large stripes. For full impact, go head-to-toe monochrome, including the accessories! 

The seventies are back! This time with a softer and more refined edge - with lace, crochet and lots of suede, your childhood favourites have returned with a newfound elegance.
