Mark Fast has made his name as King of Knitwear at London Fashion Week, and for SS12 he has continued his signature technique but with it he has created movement and depth. Two of the best are below – what do you think?

Fashion’s wonder kid, Christopher Kane showed his SS12 collection at London Fashion Week today, and this was certainly a collection we, as stockists, were excited to see. Kane did not disappoint, featuring multiple dresses perfect for any spring social event – but in particular, weddings. If you have any spring (or summer) weddings lined up next year, there’s only one place to look for a dress that is neutral yet completely unmissable, and that, GMD lovers, is Chris Kane.
The dresses sparkled and shimmered, with embellishment and metallic leather taking centre stage. These dresses are completely fresh and modern and are quite simply, breathtaking. Just when you think London Fashion Week has pulled out all the stops with their designers creating show-stopping dresses, along comes another label that demonstrates once again how much talent there is in the UK.

Day 3 of London Fashion Week definitely saved one of the best until last: Matthew Williamson showed his collection last night, much to the delight of Girl Meets Dress.
Williamson is famous for designing sparkly, fun and flirty collections and  his jet-set, holiday style dresses are back for another fabulous summer come 2012. Embellishment, beads, sequins and even ostrich feathers all featured heavily along with luxurious, rich colours from ochre to cobalt to citrine, right through to fruity and coppery tones. Famous for dressing It-girls (including Sienna Miller and Jade Jagger) who love to party in Ibiza, Williamson has stayed true to the sexy, glamorous reputation of the Matthew Williamson girl – but she is slightly more well travelled, with hints of the orient creeping into the SS12 dresses.
Below are my favourite Matthew Williamson dresses from the SS12 collection – I can guarantee that every girl will want at least one.

Vivienne Westwood started it yesterday, and today, Peter Jensen and Margaret Howell have continued what is now officially a SS12 trend – the red dress. At Westwood, a full length crimson gown with drop waist and layers is an inspired choice for the red carpet (someone young and carefree would work this well – perhaps Kristen Stewart or Blake Lively) and the tomato red cocktail dress by Peter Jensen was toned down with the simple addition of monochrome checked shirt. Margaret Howell, renowned for her relaxed, boyish designs, created a casual shirt dress that could work for day or night because of the jewel tone – a sumptuous ruby red – and is also a red dress will work for any age.
