The Central Saint Martins BA collections certainly got their share of American press last week but, over in England, Saint Martins is just one aspect of Graduate Fashion Week. Another fashion college of note is London College of Fashion, whose BA graduates caught the eye of Topshop in addition to our sister site, Fabsugar UK. Check out the full range of looks from the London College of Fashion graduates in Fabsugar UK's Graduate Fashion Week coverage.
If you haven't already caught wind, Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki is poised to launch a capsule collection with Topshop next week. The range will debut in the New York and London stores as well as online this April 28th. Our Network Partner, Style Bubble, wrote on her visit to the showroom to see the collection as did our sister site, Fabsugar UK. The strong shoulders, wild leopard-like prints and whimsical dresses are perfectly curated in this collection. The most expensive piece, the suede jacket shown at left, will retail for around $200. If suede is what you're after, Topshop has been doing a lot of that this season, most notably by way of suede leggings which go for around $510. Regardless, we're sure all of the Barbara Hulanicki pieces will fly off the shelves.
