Paul Costelloe AW16 Collection at London Fashion Week

Inspired by the modern day female warrior, the Costelloe woman is ambitious, fearless and a fighter.

Video of the show's finale:

This collection encapsulates that transition of power dressing which also comes as a reminder of the designer's heritage for supreme tailoring.

Never compromising on quality, Paul Costelloe and his manufacturers in London have experimented with materials that combine traditional fabrics with innovative techniques together creating outstanding textures and volume.

Sharp oversized military coats in warm red checks and modified painted herringbone give the idea that this woman is armed for adventure,

 whilst the brand's trademark feminine babydoll dresses return but this time in subtle transparent organza with lace....

 and alluring burgundy jacquards adding a dramatic edge to the classic style.

Accessories include:
Slouchy rucksacks in leather and shearling

Fringed clutches of supple leather and suede make the perfect off duty essential.

Ong Oaj Pairam SS16 at London Fashion Week

Inspired by a myriad of references including the  Photographic book  Swans, Legends of the Jet Society , Ong Oaj Pairam brings a Riviera cool laid back glamour to his day wear and a French  couture style to his evening gowns.

Showing a sense of humour, Tintin is a key source of inspiration in the creation of Ong’s Safari jackets and his trench coats. The camel safari jacket is in supple perforated leather whilst the trench comes in bright yellow suede similar to the colour of Tintin’s hair.

Look closely and you’ll find that the chic jacquard print on this trench coat is not just your classic polka dot but also has tiny silhouettes of butterflies and insects hidden amongst them.

For his SS16 prints, Ong has the jet set life in mind with a stacked suitcases pattern.

 Other prints include a delicate Oriental floral pattern and eerie silhouettes of birds perched on branches

Hand stitched ruffles cocoon the wearer in exaggerated glamour and luxury.

Ong chooses a calming colour palette of utilitarian shades of green, russet, sand, tan and camel representing the jet set’s cosmopolitan travels on safari, to the jungle and yachts anchored on the Riviera. Whist bursts of sky blues and burning yellow, fuchsia and orange show the richness and colourful life of the jet setter.

Hand stitched appliqués and embroidery features tropical birds, butterflies and flowers fused with plastics and traditional Irish techniques.
