LFW: Fyodor Golan AW13

Since winning Fashion Fringe in 2011, design duo Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman have gone from being one of the labels to watch to a must see show on the London Fashion Week schedule.

Set in the luxurious and decadent setting of The Savoy ballroom with its crystal chandeliers, the format was a circular catwalk that made it feel more like an intimate salon show, which was perfect to showcase the extravagant AW13 ready-to-wear collection.

The collection itself inspired by Luis Bunuel's 1967 film, Belle De Jour, explored the coming of age story of an adolescent turning into a woman, and was a tale of two halves, mixing couture-like elements with the eveningwear pieces destined for the red carpet with structured bodices, and the tailored dresses featuring gentle ruffles around the neckline, and block coloured knitwear separates.

Highlights included the floor-length vibrant orange red carpet ready gown, and embossed leather featuring the iconic smiley face on pencil skirts and biker jackets in collaboration with Smiley, and the sequin cocoon dress styled with a blue printed circular mask.
