Dropping trend

If London Fashion Week trends are the ones to follow, it seems like the hemlines forecast for next winter is ankle-grazing. Christopher Kane and Marios Schwab, two of the hottest names in the British fashion industry, yesterday turned their backs on short, sexy dresses in favour of long hemlines and sombre shades of grey.

In other trend news Todd Lynn gave us his latest twist on tailoring - this season, tucking jackets into trousers for the appearance of all-in-ones and adding strips of fur - and TopShop New Gen first-timers Krystof Strozyna and MeadhamKirchoff drew a curious crowd to see their hot pink power suits and bunched-up high waist skirts.

Lulu Kennedy's Fashion East babies will also be unveiling their latest creations at the E1 venue. Louise Gray and Noki will be returning to the Old Truman Brewery venue where they will be joined by newcomer David David.
