London Fashion Week: Trend round up
Trends count for everything in fashion and London is beginning to prove that it has a consensus of ideas.

Do trends count for anything anymore? The frequently aired view of the sophisticated fashion consumer is that they don't matter to anyone apart from Chinese teens converging on Topshop.
At the risk of parroting Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, trends mean everything in fashion. Sure they can be and often are, a blind alley, but they can also be the first whispers of a uniform that sweeps the world. London Fashion Week traditionally lights the touch-paper of a new idea, stands back - and waits for everyone else to reap the profits. But not anymore. Alongside those mad, sublime moments of individual creativity, London had a consensus of ideas. That doesn't mean we'll be bludgeoned into conformity, because there are enough trends to allow for maximum manoeuvre and every designer had their own interpretations. So make way for big skirts and slinky ones, kick flares and leggings, padded hips, long knits, winter florals, military, the upscale parka and military. There's plenty to tempt.

Jasper Conran autumn/winter 2012
It's a pity Jasper Conran's latest offering wasn't bursting with perfectly made grown-up clothes, says Gala.
There's not doubt that Jasper Conran can produce some beautifully restrained tailoring when the occasion and budget require, as the outfit he designed for Lady Helen Taylor at last year's Royal Wedding demonstrated.

Antonio Berardi autumn/winter 2012
Antonio Berardi shakes off his body-con reputation for a complicated collection of curved seams, inspired by contemporary artist Rachel Kneebone.
"People say I do body-con. And I do. But I wanted to use size too. To hell with it."

Christopher Kane autumn/winter 2012
Christopher Kane cruises into winter with a grungy collection perfect for a woman off to a dirty downtown soirée.
Last season it was bejewelled beach sandals, slashed dresses and beautiful metallic florals. So for winter Christopher Kane followed his yen for something rougher: "I've always wanted to do something dirty, grungy, rocky," he said: "It was that girl walking into a nightclub in a total downtown, dirty little place. It was dirty."

Burberry Prorsum autumn/winter 2012
Burberry's continued knack for producing fashion classics and state-of-the-art selling techniques has cemented its status as the London Fashion Week heavyweight.
Samantha Cameron was at Burberry this evening - her third show of the day - where she joined a star-studded front row that included the model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the singer Will.i.am, the actress Kate Bosworth and an of-the-moment Korean band named Girl Generation that reduced the crowd outside to hysterical shrieks.
