This strikingly sculptural piece from Trinidadian furniture designer Scot Sardinha is designed to function as three different items: a coffee table, a bench or a lounger thereby accommodating whatever design needs you may have.  The sleek lines are cut to precision using CNC technology and constructed with high grade ¾” maple plywood. The piece above is shown in a natural finish but custom finishes are also available.

Gregory Nelmes Home celebrated the launch of a new line of furniture last week and one of the more notable items was the Arthur Stool by LA-based Noir, an eye-catching, whimsical seat made from cement which can be used both in- and outdoors.

We saw a  riot of colour at Blumarine where flowers were strategically placed over flesh-coloured sheer fabric.

Perhaps Jenna Lyons was the muse at DSquared2 where the models sported the slicked-back hair and heavy frames favoured by the fashion icon.  The clothes were sporty and colour-blocked in bright colours, while feathers and shoes made a definite statement.  With excessive ruffles, frills and sequins the designers definitely had fun playing with proportion and texture.

Fierce fashion in more than one sense from Giles where tiger and snake imagery and beautifully detailed appliqués showed up on laser-cut dresses.

London seems to be big on the bright, punchy colours for Spring 2015 and it's no exception at Peter Pilotto who offered acid brights and foliage.  Patchwork dresses and coats referenced stained glass windows and resin flowers offered additional embellishment. The show ended with softly draped Grecian dresses.

The term "appliqué" is going to be a bit overused today, starting with this collection from Erdem who gave us beautiful, ethereal gowns and dresses for spring.  The clothes felt lush covered as they were with palm and floral prints, appliqués and feathers.  There were also standout, modernised versions of Victorian lace and broderie anglaise dresses.

One of the more highly anticipated collections, Burberry Porsum showed pretty shift dresses covered in oversized palettes which were made less precious with the addition of denim jackets which had either hints of feather or shearling peeping from the hem or collar.  Sheer dresses and skirts were pleated and layered to give them substance and the models wore trainers or flat sandals with cork soles.

Graphic elements and colourblocking in bright, acidic colours from Roksanda Ilincic for Spring.  Origami-esque draping added interest to the clothes.
