So here we are again, LFW SS12 has started already, fashion events, shows are full on, amazing designers, fantastic collections. I cannot wait to pop down tomorrow and have a look the the exhibition, but before I do so, I would like to reflect on the previous exhibition at LFW AW11 and feature my favourite ESTETHICA designers.
LU FLUX - SEA AND BE SEEN
Born on the Isle of Wight, Lu studied Fashion at Edinburgh College of Art winning the Ocean Terminal Scottish Fashion Graduate Award with her final collection. Subsequently she went on to work as a design assistant to Bernhard Willhelm in his Paris studio before returning to the UK to start her own label.
Lu currently lives and works in London where she locally sources all her materials.
I met Lu at the exhibition while taking photos of something different, something colourful,something with British eccentricity, something that I just loved straight away, and I found it very unique. She was so so sweet and humble, we had a quick chat, then she invited me to her presentation on the day after in the Mayfair Hotel near Green Park. A penthouse suite was rented, live band playing music, and some lovely people, and a great event!!
'The colour palette pays credit to the murky depths of the sea, embroidery referencing the bioluminescent creatures who make their own light to attract mates and dissuade predators, in an underwater world teeming beauty, colour and hidden dangers.' Have a look at the video to start this underwater journey :)

I love the colours and the fabrics she is using deep strong regal colours, velvet, wool, tweed.
Below is the image summary of my amazing experience and opportunity of meeting her and her designs! THANK YOU Lu Flux!
