Lonely Hearts was packed to the rafters with standing room only at their Fashion Week show on Wednesday 31st August as Prodigy’s Smack My Bitch Up set a 90s hard-edged tone for their AW12 collection.
Beauty was created by M.A.C., with hair by Stephen Marr, and styling by Karen Inderbitzen-Waller.
Pictured left: M.A.C.’s Tatum Savage watches the show from the front row. Lonely Hearts Lingerie was very visible, particularly in burgundy which matched the eye make-up.
Is it too soon for a 90s revival? Not according to Lonely Hearts, with baseball caps, shearling jackets and plum eye make-up, applied in rectangle shapes.
There was a rock chick and a softer-edged girl, in her georgette button down shirts and the sheerest polkadot tights. The rock chicks had a softer side, as they played with ideas of revealing and concealing.
In lieu of a goody bag, guests raved over the cute bags of ribbon-tied fudge from cafe Little And Friday. I have to admit I ate both mine and Aja Rock’s. That’s why she’s so thin.
Front Row Fierce: Colin Mathura-Jeffree and Aja Rock.
I loved their imaginative invitation of a movie clip of a girl folding a note saying "Please come to our show. Lonely Hearts" into a black paper heart shape.
This colour blocked black and paprika orange print appeared in sweaters and also in a pretty sleeveless dress.
Hues of blues, and tall glasses of red, brought a welcome shot of colour to the winter palette.
Fabrics included sheer georgettes, through to more practical warm winter woolens.
Editor’s fave: the charcoal grey dress with volume falling from a gathered waistline. Leather shorts are a top trend for the coming winter.
