Still trying to make sequins and metallics his thing, so not much has changed. The fringe is no, the coloured satin is meh and the two tone sequin looks are unfortunate.

Although the white fabric pieces (looks 16-18 and 29-31) are actually rather nice and still present Halpern's aesthetic alongside the zebra print. If he's looking for a collection idea for next season, and one that isn't so all over the place, I think that would serve him well. A lesson on austerity whilst still injecting some tacky/gaudy glamour.

There are few reddening outfits but most of this should seriously go in the bin, particularly those fringe dresses that morph the models into hairy creatures straight out of “Where the wild things are”…

Quite fond of the majority of this, and as per usual with Halpern he's an asset to the LFW schedule. The opening look is gorgeous, as are the following five looks and I'm also loving the sight of that vivid yellow asymmetric floor-length tweed dress. A show-stopper!

Why is Tess McMillan buried under all those heavy layers of fabric, the result looks nothing like the rest of the collection?
