Royal College of Art Graduate designer Erdem Moralioglu has revealed his A/W 08 collection on Valentine day’s in London. I recognised a few key faces in fashion such as Hilary Alexander from Daily Telegraph and Caryn Franklin from the Clothes Show was there. It was a bit manic when the show was about to start as people from the back row attempted to get into the first row, and the cameramen started shouting; it was chaos for a second! And then show commenced….

It all started with classic violin music. Models walked steadily and it was very smooth until the first model’s shoe got caught on the tiled floor and came off causing her to carry on walking unevenly. The collection was elegant with evening dresses in marbled colours. The variety of fabrics ranged from thick silks and cotton to light weighted chiffon, all adorned with the same print designs. Also, there were plain bright colour high collar jackets, which made the whole collection contemporary; it was like Victorian meets Modernism. My mind wandered to stone castles in fields robust with flower. I especially liked Mac coats that had contrasting front and back aesthetics, evoking totally different feelings. The Mac coat’s back was created with white laced frills - It was unexpected and mismatched but it was somehow still slick and gorgeous. The finale of the collection was a stunning marble coloured top entirely made out of crystal glasses.
