What We Wore To LFW

Last Friday, RIHQ took a (very fashionable) trip to The Strand for day one of LFW - that’s London Fashion Week to you and me. Head-to-toe in River Island, we rocked the trends we’re loving now, from animal prints to Heritage checks and loved every minute. Here’s what we wore…

Simplicity is the key - I'm a bit of a denim fiend so my look is always built around a great pair of jeans. I added statement white boots and a cosy oversized knit - perfect for autumn in London.

What’s your favourite piece & why?
The Harper jeans - they fit so well and can be dressed up or down.

Which Autumn trend are you most looking forward to wearing?
The knitwear - I love an oversized jumper to snuggle up in.

What does fashion week represent to you?
It's an opportunity to get re-inspired for the season ahead with street style providing ultimate outfit goals no matter what your style.

I chose black flared trousers that go with everything and I’m a bit obsessed with animal print so the knit was a given. A chunky trainer is a saviour as I’m short - I like the height without having to wear a heel! 

What’s your favourite piece & why?
The jumper – although its knitwear it’s nice and lightweight perfect for that awkward in-between weather! 

Which Autumn trend are you most looking forward to wearing?
I’m loving all the new brown hues coming through - it makes a nice change from feeling like you have to wear black all winter! 

What does fashion week represent to you?
I love the excitement. It’s really inspiring to see all of the street style and celeb spotting – the energy and creativity is amazing.

What’s your go-to photo pose?
The “oh what you’re taking a picture of me? I had no idea” pose. (Which always ends up looking more posed )

I love to rock an Autumnal look, wearing cosy knitwear and heritage pieces. My style is definitely vintage inspired so I‘ve been loving the check trend this season. I’m a big fan of the ginger/rust/ taupe colour palette that’s everywhere at the moment. 

What’s your favourite piece & why?
DEFINTELY these lush high waisted plaid wide leg trousers, they are super flattering, comfortable and you can dress them up or down with a chunky trainer or heel.

Which Autumn trend are you most looking forward to wearing?
I’ll be jumping on the vintage floral trend this season - I LOVE a floral print dress mixed with some old school trainers or chunky boots - bish bash bosh, it’s definitely my go to!

What does fashion week represent to you?
Liberation; to be true to yourself, express yourself and your style, get creative and have fun. It’s what London is all about. 

What’s your go-to photo pose?
Just being silly and having fun!

I went for a smart casual vibe with tailored trousers, a hoodie and trainers. And a statement coat!

What’s your favourite piece & why?
The jacket – it’s such a standout piece. The perfect winter coat. 

Which Autumn trend are you most looking forward to wearing?
I’m all about the Heritage trend – I live in smart check trousers at the minute. 

What does fashion week represent to you?
It’s an expression of style and it helps me to stay on trend and get new ideas for my own look.

What’s your go-to photo pose?
Hands in pockets, looking away from the camera [laughs]

It's smart casual with an ornate twist.

What’s your favourite piece & why?
Definitely the bomber jacket. It adds the finishing touch to the outfit and I love the colour of the print. It could be easily dressed up or down. 

Which Autumn trend are you most looking forward to wearing?
Heritage checks. I like how versatile the trend is – I already have my eye on some of our outerwear pieces!

What does fashion week represent to you?
It’s the best of fashion and design in one place and is a chance to get inspired for next season. Plus you see some amazing street style. 

What’s your go-to photo pose?
Imagining someone’s told me a really funny joke! [laughs]
