Now that the Fashion Weeks are over, we can sit back and reflect on some of the key trends. From the gorgeously varied looks at Paris to the edgier styles at London Fashion Week, it's time to start working those trends already. One of my hot tips for next Spring is the bold lip colours seen on the catwalks at Osman Yousefzada, Betty Jackson and Harriet's Muse. 
Young Israeli born designer Inbar Spector closed London Fashion Week last Friday with her Spring show. The make-up for the show was distinctly Bjork inspired and her designs were exciting, definitely making her one-to-watch. The penultimate piece in her collection received applause from the audience who were bowled over by her design talent. 
Spring collections are nearly always about light or bright colours (except maybe in the case of Gareth Pugh) and this often involves pastel shades. For Spring 2009 however, many designers designed to bring pastels up a notch or two by introducing neon pastels. Appearing on the catwalks at Richard Nicoll, Christopher Kane and Eley Kishimoto the colour palette was certainly eye-catching. 
Now that London Fashion Week has been over for a few days, I've been able to mull over photos and collect my thoughts about everything that I saw last week. Hair was mostly braided, crimped and pulled back, and the makeup looks ranged from neutral, almost bare-faces to one accentuated feature like bright lips.
I loved seeing the bold coral-matte lip look at Osman Yousefzada, the deep and delicious tomato-red pigment at Betty Jackson and the fun and punchy-cartoon pink lips at Harriet's Muse and Emma Bell. 
Last week I attended Afshin Feiz's Spring 2009 show at the Royal Academy of Arts. Having spoken with the designer before I was eager to find out what inspired him for Spring 2009.
