London Fashion Week spring/summer 2011 - Day 5

And all of a sudden it’s here: the penultimate day of London Fashion Week.

Heels have been mostly traded in for ballet pumps and brogues, the sun has come back with a vengeance taking the new season coats with it, and most of us are doing the ‘Fashion flail’, otherwise known as gliding around like a zombie and seeking out a comfy seat wherever it may be.

With that in mind you start to see the Fashion crowd dropping off like flies. We spotted empty seats at Jaeger; usually one of the most claustrophobic shows of the week, but handicapped by its 9am start time on today of all days.

It’s a limp over the finish line rather than sprint. A sleek, minimalist collection of muted, earthy tones, Jaeger was a beautiful but rather subdued effort. At the crack of dawn on a Tuesday you’d do better to shock with naked models and Kerry Katona in your front row (just some of the most talked about moments of the last week).
