This London Fashion Week has been truly redefining. Every designer from Richard Nicoll to Lucas Nascimento took risks by completely changing their brand’s trademark looks and playing with new, fun ways to dress the modern woman. Some brands explored the athleisure style and worked with androgynous, comfort-driven pieces, while others kept it very feminine and formal.

One of the biggest looks from London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015 was the boxy jacket. Keep your eye out in the next year because you are sure to see many box-cut trench coats along with other A-line suits and masculine pieces.

To juxtapose the intenseness that the boxy silhouette brings, a modern take on athletic wear seems to be a huge up-and-coming trend as many of the weekend’s lines were filled with athletic wear. Some designers even did away with heels altogether and went for a more laid back aesthetic. Here were a few favorite collections from the week:

Richard Nicoll

Richard Nicoll left behind his previous androgynous style for a much softer, feminine look. The designer, who in the past has stuck to mostly masculine, box-like contours in his clothes, premiered a line filled with silk, tassels and a cool blue palette. The colors in his Spring/Summer 2015 line ranged from a lilac purple to a shimmery silver and the clothing embodied an ethereal glow. The models seemed to float as they walked down the runway in iridescent halter dresses and oversized trench coats. To add balance to the femininity in the pieces, many of the outfits contained loose-fitting A-line coats with strong defined shoulders.

Topshop Unique

This weekend the brand decided to push its limits and play with very bright, sporty pieces. As Cara Delevingne opened the show and strutted down the runway, it was clear the brand was leaning toward a younger, more playful look for the season. Filled with retro-styled clothing, the brand stuck to a color palette of dark blues and wine reds. Structured A-line skirts paired with a range of anoraks made for a stark contrast in the color scheme.

Temperley London

This year’s Temperley London collection was all about the comfort — every look was completed with a pair of canvas sneakers. Additionally, versatility was key as the line was full of interchangeable separates and daywear suits. The line leaned away from femininity and toward sexy androgyny with flared trench coats and ambiguous silhouettes. The collection was comprised of a muted color palette mostly containing whites, blacks, and earthy reds.

From playful palettes to silhouettes that allow for chic comfort on the go, the Spring/Summer 2015 collections from across the pond certainly made an anticipated splash for the coming season.
