London Fashion week final show, Simon Gao

As the fashionably fabulous disperse, returning to their stations to live anonymously until the next fashion week, I was grateful to catch the last show of what has been a great week. Although initially critical of the collections earlier in the week Simon Gao certainly ended fashion week with a bang. And of course he would. Arguably China's hottest designer right now, Simon Gao surely enriched London with his beautiful Fall winter 2014 collection.

       

Gao benefits from a wealth of cultural experience. Traditionally Asian silohettes were reinvented with am minimalist European touch. The attention to detail and quality of each piece was evident, as the expertly crafted fabrics glided down the runway.

What I loved about this ready to wear collection was that it was just that, so wearable. Wearable art, the collection was full of statement pieces that on their own would transform any wardrobe. Although working from a muted palette of black, grey, white and khaki, the collection was anything but understated.

Whist waiting for the show to start, I i-spied a few of China's elite, such as the Editor-in-Chief of Elle China as well as some home grown favourites... Tinie Tempah was there, looking impeccably smart as always, along with super couple Rochelle Wiseman and JLS's Marvin Humes- taking a page out of the Beckhams book, in complimenting outfits. Cute.
