SIX UP-AND-COMING DESIGNERS TO WATCH THIS LONDON FASHION WEEK

Each season, tastemakers look to London Fashion Week to discover the latest cutting-edge designs. A hotbed of emerging talent, London Fashion Week is where the finest new trends are set. As the glittering biannual event approaches, here are six up-and-coming designers to watch out for.

Molly Goddard 

Winner of the British Emerging Talent award at the 2016 Fashion Awards, Central Saint Martins alumnus, Molly Goddard is hot fashion property. Her clothes offer a playful take on feminine shapes and you can find her collection at Dover Street Market and Browns.

Richard Quinn

Richard Quinn’s label is barely a year old but he’s made a splash with striking collections featuring bold silhouettes and models swathed entirely in fabric from head to toe. His pretty floral prints caught Liberty’s attention, prompting a collaboration with the heritage store.

Teatum Jones

Chic, voluminous tailoring and eye-catching evening gowns in ultra-luxurious fabrics underpin duo, Teatum Jones’ modern aesthetic. You can shop their collection at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge.

Paula Knorr

After winning the prestigious NEWGEN award in 2015, German designer Paula Knorr has been a name to watch on the London Fashion Week schedule. Her collections feature beautifully cut and draped dresses, shirts and blouses in jewel and pastel colours.

Natasha Zinko

Natasha Zinko’s cheery colourful florals and bright check prints have captured the fashion pack’s hearts. The Ukrainian designer has been showing at London Fashion Week for two years, and her sculpted, body skimming dresses and outwear make her one of the most exciting talents.

Roberta Einer

Having worked at Alexander McQueen and Mary Katrantzou, Estonian designer, Roberta Einer has superlative credentials. Her playful multi-coloured, multi-textured separates and dresses are a medley of sequins, chiffon and embellishment.

Coastal modernism, Sicilian Style: New Suites at Verdura Resort

Verdura Resort has always drawn its character from its surroundings – the wide sweep of Sicily's south-western coastline, the olive groves and macchia mediterranea stretching back from the shore, the quality of a landscape that shifts hour by hour with the sun. When Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, working closely with Olga Polizzi, began designing the resort's new collection of sea-facing suites and rooms, that relationship between interior and place was where they started.

The Language of Flowers: Inside our Suites

Every suite is, in some sense, a portrait of where it stands, grounded in the history, the stories, the particular light of its city. At Hotel de Russie in Rome, the Valadier Suite takes its name and its lush colour palette from the architect who designed the hotel's own Secret Garden; at Hotel Amigo in Brussels, the Tintin Suite pays tribute to Belgium's most beloved cultural hero. The floristry follows the same instinct.

London in Three Acts

Some travellers fall in love with a city all at once. Others come to know it gradually, season by season, until they understand not just where to go, but, perhaps more vitally, when. London, with its Royal parks and cobbled courtyards, layers of heritage and history, rewards the latter handsomely.
