Rising Designer Stars at LFW.

With every new season brings new, fresh and exciting designers to the forefront and London Fashion Week is no different. 

Yet it was one particularly talented designer whose collection caught my eye , and for good reason. With a collection that featured Tesco bag prints, urban graffiti-covered jackets, bold print neckerchiefs, metallic suits and Swarovski crystals in the shape of sharks , Maarten van der Horst SS13 collection was nothing short of intriguing.


His collection was showcased at Lulu Kennedys Fashion East, a young  designer who has to be given credit for the platform that she has been provided for up and coming designers in recent years.Van der Hosrt, the Central Saint Martins graduate said, “The concept was basically rubbish and garbage; what we find around us. And it was very much about my territory as well, what I see everyday,”.

Urban/Graffiti prints were all over the catwalk.

Personally I loved this collection for the way Van der Horst made everyday items into beautiful and surprisingly very wearable pieces, that I myself would most definitely wear.

This  innovative designer is one that i will most certainly be keeping a close eye on each season.
