LFW Day 1 - Ones To watch : Anja Mlakar



Appointed as one of this season's Ones To Watch, Anja Mlakar has just presented her impeccably constructed pieces here at Fashion Scout. Galvanised by arts, iconic occurrences in the present and  future, the London based designer’s hourglass silhouette's ignited a flurry of interest from the audience.

Anja utilised a soft pastel colour palette, which are noted colors of this season. Pairing muted colours hand-in-hand with strong contrasting jet black made for a striking show.

The models graced the catwalk with a moody sophistication as the collection emerged, architectural in both it's form and detail. Trousers were sliced with laser cut shapes, sheer blocks of fabric hung both sharp and softly whilst shorter hemlines were crowned with structuring on the hips.

Anja’s aesthetic for this season was all about delicate fabrics and application of texture as well as paneling in some of the key pieces.
