The usual suspects were sitting front row - Pixie, Alexa, Nicola etc and the most rousing soundtrack of the week so far (compiled by uner cool New York DJ collecitve The MisShapes) had everyone tapping their feet.

The collection had a Downtown NY vibe complete with Katie Hillier-designed ghetto hooped earrings (which kept dropping to the runway) and high ponytails held up with bandanas. The Bandana theme continued into the candy-coloured clothes and trousers, oversized shirts and tights were covered in the paisley print. There were some cool shearling jackets and a lust-have painterly striped silk boiler suit, but the sell-out items will surely be the acronym sweaters and T-shirts emblazoned with slogans such as K.M.T. and N.G.A.F.C. - and the copycoat black and white nails painted by Sophy Robson are surely set to spawn a fashion week trend.
