My inspiration was inspired by religion/god and nature and the name of my collection is gods creation! Thank you so much for the photos I would like all the photos if possible please? Thanks so much x

"Show was awesome. That catwalk in church was like mystery. Was something magic with this place. I loved last walk with amazing long dresses. Fuschia long dresses was spectacular for me." - Ruda w Wielkim Miescie wearing an M&S dress, ZARA hat, TJ Maxx sunglasses, leather boots and yellow backpack from Italy and a handmade brooch.

Sitting front row next to B️en Michael, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress, Paula London said she: "Loved the whole show especially the Jana Simone looks!"

It was a pleasure and a brilliant event. The show was amazing. It was a joy and so inspiring to see the beautiful creations these talented emerging artists are producing. It was a privilege to be a part of. My 14 year old daughter Rua and I both loved Jana Simone’s beautiful vibrant creations. We had the pleasure of meeting her and her lovely mum afterwards.

Melanie Masson wearing a vintage 70's shirt and trousers and a bag gifted from her Godmother. Sheen Doran who was an 80’s pop star in a band called Toto Coel.

My favourite look from the show was a blue and pink latex playsuit by Shokushu Boutique. I think it's incredible how they take a typically sexy fabric and use it to create really fun, playful pieces. The playsuit was my favourite in particular as I loved the contrast of the blue and pink, and pink lace latex detailing at the bottom was beautiful.

"Lovely show and great location! Was there for Shokushu Boutique and loved all her great latex pieces!" - Kimi Peri wearing a vintage bodysuit from Berlin, a Vii and Co. belt, NA-KD pants and Demonia Footwear platform boots.

Designer Ad Astra

Hi ! Thanks for your message :) the inspiration is the idea of movement and colour, I was mainly looking at the art movement of futurism while designing for their use of geometrical designs and use of bright colours😊 I also wanted outfits that made the customer feel empowered yet comfortable. I would love to see the pictures, I would love to share them on my insta feed if that’s ok with you! ☺️ Thank you again 🙏🏻

Designer - Elisha Quarman Contour

Yes of course, the collection was my recent graduate collection which was inspired by Chinese culture, the leather has Chinese dragons etched onto the surface of the fabric, i had explored the traditional aspects of Chinese culture through the empowerment of women, Chinese women used to tattoo their faces to make themselves less attractive to men in order to avoid sexual harassment, my collection was about empowering women to show their bodies off and express themselves how they choose x

Actress Lindsey Peel wore Zara and told us, "I loved it that the show had strong women of all shapes and sizes rocking the runway. They were all fabulous but if I had to choose one it would have to be *Elisha Quarman** as I love my underwear!"*

Our favourite collection was the red lingerie collection by Elisha Katie Quarman - Indira could definitely see herself wearing the lace up skirt and Hattie loved the corset!

Indira May wearing a Jaded playsuit, Monki coat, ASOS bag and handmade jewellery by her Mum.

Hattie Jackson wearing her Dad's vintage jacket, trousers from Indira’s wardrobe, H&M shoes, Zara earrings and a H&M bracelet.

Designer - Unique Fashion House

Keeps the balance between the sophistication of pearls and powerfulness of strong colors. Feminine with a hint of spicy character.

Idea was: Romantic, dramatic, fragile and strong – let's connect opposites.

Clothing line is inspired by modern-day heroines, bold, fearless, different, and proudly in love with herself woman. Designed specifically and exclusively for the daring, unique women. unique_fashion.house's profile picture Sorry for being late, I am on a road all day. I just sent you part of the description someone wrote for Serbian news. Maybe you could use some part of it here, choose what does it fit the most.

The inspiration was from an Irish abstract artist called Mary Swanzy. I was inspired by her methods of painting, and especially her work from Hawaii in the early 1900’s. I used bold colours, panelling and full silhouettes to create the looks inspired by her work. All fabrics were locally sourced, recycled or made from natural fibres.

"Great show. My favourite collection was Sharon Sweeney. Loved the lilac suit with green shoes." - Ruth Hackett wearing a Hayley Menzies dress, Office shoes and a Gucci bag.

Kaffa Mockbill

I was inspired to make this collection through collective memories from my childhood - colours and designs . Growing up watching a lot of Audrey Hepburn - Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe movies I wanted to showcase that through the dresses that were chosen for the show. Each piece had a element of fashion that I grew up watching and I was able to modernise through colour and style too.

with Ransom

I was paired with some I went super Norties with it - I am totally obsessed with Norties fashion atm!

I thought the show was outstanding and there was so much talent in the room. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the upcoming designers! I am going to have to go with the wedding dress at the end! Absolute perfection. I better walk down the ailse in that one day! 🤣

It was so good to be back at London Fashion Week with Fashion Finest after 18 months. The show certainly was an eye opener, championing diversity which has always been the cornerstone of what FF stands for. My fav was probably the Pink ball gown in the closing sequence. Overall those dresses were the most impressive in terms of workmanship and standout factor. -

Radiqal Tat Veronica Fox

As an abstract painter I’m a newcomer to the fashion scene tho I’ve had an infatuation with ‘alternative’ clothing all my life. My background has informed my choice of colour palette in my collection for Fashions Finest show and in the (hopefully) subverted vibe. I have taken a few stock outfits (the suit, pencil skirt, etc) and changed them using gaps, coverings, the ‘wrong’ fabrics and hybrid pieces . I also used an all plus- size team of models for this show (-sizes 20-30) as I feel that this aesthetic fits my vision best.
