Day 4 of London Fashion Week brings us Jaeger’s latest masterpieces from the creative mind of ex-Jean Paul Gaultier couture designer Stuart Stockdale. Past seasons from Jaeger have brought us beautiful pieces with attention to detail being one of Stockdale’s strongest components in design. AW09 really stood out for me as one of Jaeger’s greatest collection’s to date, so I was more than eager to see what was in store this time around.
With a number of ‘celebs’ dominating the front row at the BFC Show Space, bloggers and photographers weren’t going away empty handed. But as the first few models strutted the runway it soon became obvious that everyone’s attention would be diverted away from ex-S Club 7 member Rachel Stevens (remember her!). The whole collection was so graciously varied, from impeccable day looks to lusciously appealing evening dresses. Highlights of the show for me are as follows – sheepskin lined boots were a complete win, along with tantalising patent high heeled biker boots which would compliment most of the collection. The navy blue velvet dress accompanied by a gleaming black leather belt was a definite high point, but with a collection with absolutely no low points, onlookers (including Joe McElderry – he was there for some reason?) have been spoilt. The military hats were touch and go for me at first but they definitely boosted each look they sported. And the bright orange blazer and boyish jackets definitely did justice to the collection too. Thanks Jaeger, you should be proud.
