Guillaume Henry’s Fall 2011 collection for Carven gives us a little bit of everything because it is made for real-life girls like you and I.

At the showroom yesterday I saw a modern collection of statement cocktail dresses, A-line skirts, cropped sweaters, adorable shorts, luxe wool coats with furry sleeves, sweater dresses, platform wedges, bags, suede cut-out boots, flared skirts and a tan leather jacket I must own before the end of 2011.

What stood out most were the plaid pieces. I especially loved the asymmetrical plaid top above which was paired with the burgundy skirt.

This collection is perfect for elegant girls about town in search of Parisian chic.

Guillaume Henry’s Carven collection is sold via Net-A-Porter US and Net-A-Porter International.

Favourites: Baroque print dress paired with black cropped sweater and tan leather jacket

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Leighton Meester, Ginnifer Goodwin, Alexis Bledel, Lea Michele, Rihanna, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Chloe Sevigny

I only attended one show during London Fashion Week and that was Joanna Sykes’ first presentation for Aquascutum.

Like Burberry and Mulberry, Aquascutum is a much cherished British brand so the pressure would have been on Joanna to deliver.

She did as she gave us many basis with modern unpretentious twists.

We saw lots of forever statement pieces, clean line, sharp cuts and a playful mix of textures and colours.

Bold colours like orange and vivid blue were presented alongside black and some neutral colours.

Tailored pants, skirts, blouses, knit sweaters, shearling trimmed jackets and a black oversized jumpsuit were presented in this collection.

The key theme of this collection was layering as shorts were paired with dresses and one look had a cropped blazer over a longer blazer.

Front Row: Sarah Cameron

Favourites: Orange sweater and peach skirt with white coat plus black oversized jumpsuit

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Alexa Chung, Kristen Stewart, Lily Donaldson and Daisy Lowe
