Revealing a hint of chest on the catwalk is common among models.
However, on the inaugural day of London Fashion Week, this has seemingly turned into a trend.
Designers like Jena Theo, Bora Aksu, and Emilia Wickstead—one of Samantha Cameron’s preferred designers—embraced topless looks as part of their presentations.
While fashion appears to be experiencing a Sixties revival, this bold showcasing of the female form seems to pay homage to bra-burning movements.
Models at Emilia Wickstead’s show wore floaty silhouettes and babydoll dresses, all set to the tune of ‘Music to Watch the Girls Go By’.
Similarly, Jenna Theo presented babydoll dresses complemented by dramatic eyeliner, false eyelashes, and a generous application of blush.
On the other hand, Bora Aksu adopted a more Gothic aesthetic, taking inspiration from the Edwardian period popularised by Downton Abbey and The Twilight Saga.
With a new film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby currently in production, featuring Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio, the Twenties are trending as a retro look for the upcoming summer.
Corrie Nielsen paid homage to Asian culture with a Japanese-themed showcase.
Hues of green and peach were among the trends to emerge today.
