Getting straight into it

With London Fashion Week upon us I thought this the best time and opportunity to start my Fashion Blog. With hundreds of designers showing their newest trend setting collections and the worlds most glamorous dressed to impress in their best frocks, from within me sparked the idea for Catching the Itch. In principle a fun yet serious blog on the contemporary fashion trends which are revived on the high street from previous Era’s and ready-to-wear catwalk shows.

The first Catwalk show I sought after was the Central Saint Martin’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. With graduates like Stella McCartney the many of the garments seen on the runway will have been conceived in the mind the Industries next ledgend. The show seemed to have recurring features, using block shapes built for the boyish body and trend. The collection had the essence of french comtemporary high fashion with elements of ready-to-wear. Many of the garments took only splashes and streaks of colour. My favourite look in the show was the use of rough denim which was a has been a coveted look in the past few seasons. The unfinished detail gave the garments a promising edge.
