I think there was not a soul on Twitter who was not singing praises of the Topshop Unique Fall collection shown today. With a front row packed with the likes of Poppy Delevigne, Nicola Roberts and the great Anna Wintour, the stakes were high and the label did not disappoint. Head designer Emma Farrow went for a mixture of degagé utilitarian, classic military and a play on textures. There were a wide array of choices served up, including variations on the newly vamped-up salopette, leather-trimmed wool skirts, puffy-sleeved chunky knit jumpers and jackets that looked like an aviator/worker hybrid. The accessories were also as well received as the clothes; the new It-bag will be and oversized clutch, and the killer military stiletto boots were made fanciful with its Mercurian wing feature (finally, my Classical education put to use!). Overall, the showcase offered wearable clothes that are neither boring nor too whimsical. It was straight to the point. Personally, I love that I got some Irene Cara circa Flashdance vibes. Anything that reminds me of the 80s is a given winner.
