She has been responsible for several revolutions in the bridal industry introducing contemporary styling and design to several collections including ready-to-wear, resort, accessories and lingerie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the UK\u2019s most successful independent fashion brands, Packham is always eagerly anticipated at fashion shows with this landmark event no different. Packham has flagship stores in London, Paris and New York as well as collaborative collections with some of the most discerning labels including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Harrods, Net-A-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packham\u2019s longevity has seen her dress some of the most iconic celebrities such as Uma Thurman, Kate Winslet, Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, Emily Blunt and of course The Duchess of Cambridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year marks Packham\u2019s 30th year in the fashion industry and her show is not to be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Halpern<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_16949\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Halpern-Jumpsuit-Pinterest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16949\" class=\"wp-image-16949 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Halpern-Jumpsuit-Pinterest-250x375.jpg\" alt=\"London Fashion Week (Photo: Pinterest)\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Halpern<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonfashionweek.co.uk\/designers_profile.aspx?DesignerID=3067\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halpern<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a maverick who rides the line between what his critics call \u2018tacky\u2019 and his fans call \u2018fabulous\u2019. His glamorous aesthetic is the foundation for his brand\u2019s quintessential mini dresses, flared trousers, jumpsuits and bustiers. \u201cI always reference over-the-top glamour and juxtapose that with classic bustiers and draping that recalls Charles James, Lacroix, Christian Dior.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is little wonder he draws on what Vogue call \u2018good\/bad taste doublethink\u2019 with his pedigree not just from one but two prestigious alma maters. With both New York\u2019s Parsons Art and Design School and London Central Saint Martin\u2019s behind him he has found a niche all his own with one foot in loud American glamour and the other in couture fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such is Halpern\u2019s standing in the industry that he has consulted on the Atelier Versace collection and had his own collections bought by the likes of Browns, Bergdorf Goodman, Matches, Maxfield, 4510 and The Webster and Jeffrey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His brazen, hyper-feminine collections are not to be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richard Quinn<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_16950\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Richard-Quinn-Vogue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16950\" class=\"wp-image-16950 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Richard-Quinn-Vogue-250x377.jpg\" alt=\"London Fashion Week (Photo: Vogue)\" width=\"250\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard Quinn<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonfashionweek.co.uk\/designers_profile.aspx?DesignerID=3142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richard Quinn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a London-born designer who first burst onto the scene in 2016. Fresh off the back of a Fashion MA from the illustrious Central Saint Martins, his rise has been quick even by fashion standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lewisham native\u2019s debut show was a hit with the Queen in attendance to award him the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. Since then the wunderkind has dressed the likes of Amal Clooney at the 2018 Met Gala and Thandie Newton at the 2018 Baftas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His bold and emotive creations are borne out of his unassuming art studio hidden away in a railway arch in Peckham. From here he has worked with celebs, offers students and young designers a space to print their own work and conspires with the likes of Debenhams and Liberty to create high-end fashion that actually ends up on the High Street.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quinn\u2019s blending of high-end and the everyday make him a unique designer with a clear understanding of how concepts end up as everyday fashion. Be sure to keep an eye out for this unique artist\u2019s collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexa Chung<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_16951\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alexa-Chung-Vogue.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16951\" class=\"wp-image-16951 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fifteen-uploads\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alexa-Chung-Vogue-250x375.jpg\" alt=\"London Fashion Week (Photo: Vogue)\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexa Chung<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonfashionweek.co.uk\/designers_profile.aspx?DesignerID=4397\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexa Chung\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> eponymous brand was launched in May of last year following her meteoric rise as a fashion guru on social media.
