Stop press: Balloons in Fashion

Balloons on trend at London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week, the ultimate fashion festival, wrapped on Tuesday and one trend in particular leaped off the catwalks.

Whilst balloons are always on trend as far as we’re concerned, it was great to see them feature at such a high profile event. York-based Matty Bovan held his first solo show at London Fashion Week and used flamboyant balloon headdresses to accessorize his collection. This look is our favorite:

Anya Hindmarch sends love letter to London

Whilst Anya Hindmarch didn’t stage a show this year, she also used balloons to make a statement. On Valentine’s Day the designer placed giant helium-filled ‘chubby hearts’ around the capital’s famous landmarks. The balloons were an open love letter to London.
