From the star-studded Burberry
Prorsum show to Tom Ford's elegant offering last night, London Fashion
Week is in full swing in all
its stylish glory.
However,
it wouldn't be Fashion Week without some outlandish designs. Fashion is
all about creativity after all and the capital's celebration of all things style gets top marks for excitement, innovation and all-round
fun year on year.
But
one young designer took freaky fashion to a whole new level at her show
yesterday as she sent models out on her catwalk wearing discarded toilet
rolls as accessories.
In case of an emergency: Louise Gray sent her
models all prepared for a bathroom emergency complete with toilet roll
accessories
Louise Gray's autumn/winter
2013 show called to mind what could only be described as dishevelled
housewives who had been dragged through a hedge and back - picking up
remnants from the garbage bin on the way.
The Scottish designer created rings and bracelets
from discarded toilet rolls, earrings were made from flattened custard
tart tins, whilst belts were created with old foil trays.

And she didn't stop there: Hair accessories were even made out of recycling bags.
But there is some logic behind her madness.
'I’m into recycling – it’s a nice concept,' the designer told Vogue.co.uk after the show.
It wasn't just Louise Gray shaking up London Fashion Week with her quirky designs.
KTZ, whose
collections are fun and bold, like to remind us not to take life so
seriously - and they most certainly did that last Friday at their a/w13
show.

The designers, who graduated from the
prestigious Central St Martins University, sent their models down the
catwalk wearing some very quirky headgear.
One model completed her red boucle jacket and pleated skirt combo with a headpiece resembling a stylish toilet roll holder.
Another model teamed her monochrome outfit with a black face mask adorned with knives, whilst another wore horns over her eyes.
Hungover housewives: Louise's models rocked the
disheveled look complete with smudged eye make-up and even glasses
adorned with the words 'crazy'- enough said
And giving KTZ a run for their
money was Fyodor Golan who sent models down the runway with huge
disc-shaped headdresses in crazy graphic prints.
The designer duo, who are well known for their shocking statement pieces, didn't stop there either.
Their long-sleeved mini dress gave way to hugely daring cut out necklines, which barely covered the model's modesty.

KTZ Autumn/Winter 2013 catwalk show appeared to be wearing an upmarket
toilet roll holder

Pam Hogg continued the 'dare to bare' trend with her offering on Saturday night at Fashion Scout.
Although veteran designer Pam Hogg
chose to stage her show to the electro beats of Carter Tutti, she might
have done better to have played tunes by Bare Naked Ladies.
After all, given the number of naked models strutting their stuff on the catwalk, it would certainly have been appropriate.

Never
one to shy away from a carefully orchestrated shocker, Hogg sent models
down the catwalk in their birthday suits, accessorised with barely
there capes that left nothing to the imagination, or, in one instance, a
hat alone.
But putting on a performance rather than
a straight forward catwalk show has always been part of the Pam Hogg
routine and her latest collection didn't surprise - in that respect at
least.
Bare naked ladies: The daring styling at Pam Hogg meant that very little was left to the imagination
Hogg, whose work unsurprisingly finds a
ready market among attention grabbing celebrities such as Lady Gaga,
Kate Moss and Jessie J, updated her iconic jumpsuits with oversized,
eye-catching cuboid headpieces that served to gag the model’s mouths.
On-trend PVC and sequins made their
mark and there was plenty of flesh on show as daring metallic macs were
worn completely unbuttoned with less definitely being more.
The
star of the show was a Britney Spears 'Oops I did it again' inspired
red jumpsuit and, not to be outshone, Hogg made her bows in front of the
wildly clapping audience in a bright pink latticed all-in-one.
Hidden modesty: Luckily for a few models, their modesty was hidden by fur and belts
Providing some more outlandish fashion for the kooky revellers amongst us was Sister by Sibling.
Enormous knitted hats, floral crochet
ponchos and super-sized knitted body stockings appeared on the catwalk
at one of London Fashion Week's most outlandish
moments so far.

Even model
of the moment Cara Delevingne couldn't hide her distaste for the
sartorial shockers - parading down the runway with an
uncharacteristically glum expression on her face.
One
particularly bizarre beige creation looked as if it had been inspired
by Wallace and Gromit's Shawn the Sheep, complete with an oversized
white beanie that almost completely obscured the unfortunate model's
face.
Sid Bryan, Joe Bates and Cozette McCreery, the trio behind Sister by Sibling, have form when it comes to oddball fashion.

And giving a whole new meaning to vintage was lingerie line Itsy Bitsy Vintage who created a collection of undergarments
made out of second hand fabrics.
Itsy
Bitsy Vintage lingerie showcased their quirky designs on day two of
Fashion's Finest showcase for London Fashion Week at the Westbury Hotel
in Mayfair, London ... and it was quite the eye-popping spectacle.
