Emilia Wickstead was definitely the stand out show for me on day 1 at London Fashion Week, there was a feel of old English heritage mixed with a modern twist. Beige, pops of red, dusky pink, black brocade and horse print fabrics made up the palette of this understated sexy collection.

Full skirts, square necklines and A line dresses had the feel of 18th century Britain but then sheer chiffon floaty dresses with full briefs below bought the look to a more modern era.
