It's all-out fashion war on the catwalks of London

The battle between high street and high-end played out at London Fashion Week, with John Rocha and Mulberry vying for catwalk dominance against Whistles, Topshop Unique, and Rihanna for River Island, reports the Irish Examiner's Annmarie O’Connor.

John Rocha proved his technical nous in a collection inspired by the winter bright landscapes of Wicklow and the palettes in the work of Gary Hulme.

Pea green, fluro pink, and flame red added a third dimension to trapeze and bell silhouettes crafted in rugged felts, tweed, mohair, latex glazed lace, and Rocha’s signature georgettes and chiffons.
