BOB | Best of British Trunk Show

Fir and I visited the BOB | Best of British Trunk Show on Saturday. Held by Glamour Inc., the Trunk Show gave buyers and the press a chance to view brands that were fresh from the runways of London Fashion Week. This event which is in the form of a trunk show/ exhibition gives British designers which have made their mark in the UK a chance to showcase their work to the South East Asian region.

Rice, our guide around the exhibition was kind enough to give us an introduction to the brands featured this year, which included: Belle Sauvage, Hermione De Paula, Boudicca, Lee Klabin, KTZ Kokon ToZai, Lee Lapthorn, Pazuki, Tim Soar, Vassilisa, Micquella, Atelier, George Angelopoulous, Alexia, Jenny Parkham and more.

According to Rice, brands are selected according to the strongest and most influential emerging trends. This year, British designers with two opposing aesthetic directions were chosen - one remaining true to Britain's roots of tailoring and structure, and the other being experimental.

Fir was especially enamoured by Tim Soar's collection which was inspired by menswear, while I fell in love with Bell Sauvage's dresses with digital prints which were very contemporary.

The accessories at the Trunk Show were gorgeous too. One of the highlights was George Angelopolous' bags and jewelry.

The scarves from Alexia gave the illusion of layering as they were made from several different fabrics. In addition, these scarves had a unique touch to them, as they were embellished with sequins, tassels and chains.

Another brand that was featured was Jenny Parkham, which carried jewelry that was apparently a favorite with the Duchess of Cambridge.

Fir and I also liked Cor Sine Labe Doli, which gave a new life to accessories by adding a touch of ceramic to it.

 As it is probably impossible to feature all of our favorite brands from the Trunk Show in one post (trust me, it would be as long as a thesis), we will be bringing to you the designers and brands that we fell in love with at the Trunk Show over the course of this week.

Remember to come back and check this space!
