Spring Fashion Trend: Pieced Together
Designers in London proved they are not afraid to take some risks, playing with the idea of pieced-together construction. Christopher Kane proposed a paneled black dress held together by rings for a makeshift quality, while Jonathan Anderson’s tablecloth/handkerchief number appeared to be layered and wrapped right onto the model.

Spring Fashion Trend: Sheer Layers
The styling preference of choice in London was sheer overlays — dresses, tops and skirts — worn over basic silhouettes that rounded out looks and provided a nonchalant sense of cool. Sharon Wauchob’s flowy floral-embroidered slip was the perfect example of laid-back chic, while Joseph’s high-collar number straddled the line of sporty and refined.

Spring Fashion Trend: Victoriana Remix
For spring, designers continued to reference Victorian-era fashion but done this season with a more modern hand. At Simone Rocha, dresses came with asymmetric cuts, hints of skin, but all with a fantastical whimsy. Erdem Moralioglu sent out more traditional takes with lots of ribbon fastening, while Ashley Williams and Marques’Almeida grounded their blouses featuring billowing sleeves with denim and trousers, respectively. It was heritage with a twist. (Left to right: RTW Spring 2017 collections by Ashley Williams,J.W. Anderson, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi)
