Titled 'Loved and Lost' Amy Thomson's AW19 collection is inspired by romance and relationships with objects and people at different stages of your life taking a child's perspective.

Colour palette is romantic red, precious pink, powerful purple and teasing turquoise. Bows and ties throughout the collection add pops of deeper colour to the looks.

Hand rendered  illustrative motifs are built up of pen,paint and glitter using text and slogans like 'crushin on you', 'teenage love shrine.' and 'Slumber Party'

Faux fur coats, jackets, wraps and gilets  complement Amy's exaggerated full frilled silk dresses.

Amy Thomson AW18 at London Fashion Week

Amy Thomson launches her playful AW18 collection 'Chasin' Dreams', inspired by youthful aspirations.

I wanna be a baker

Each look in the collection presents a character based on a profession seen from a child's perspective. Thomson poses the question - what does a Princess, Baker and Hairdresser look like through a child's unaffected eyes? How are these career paths defined in the mind of a child without any preconceptions?

I wanna be a princess

 From this conceptual beginning, Amy has created eight complete looks that embody a magical aesthetic, bringing to life the idea of focusing on your dreams.

I wanna be a hairdresser

 Thomson creates this magical feel with her larger-than-life hand rendered drawings that hold a distinctive and charming naivety, ensuring no two garments are the same.

I wanna be a teacher 

 With dreamlike prints, motifs and illustrations referencing each character appear throughout the narrative of the collection.

I wanna be a fashion designer 

Colour palette is traditionally girly of baby pinks, fuchsia, rose  with royal blues and lilacs.
