Their 2013 spring/summer collections were also presented in London, known for its avant-garde shows, which did not arouse great interest in the fashion industry. Hungarian models were not absent from the English catwalks either, Kinga Rajzák was seen at the Mulberry, Osman and Giles Shows, but Franciska Gáll, Kinga Bajor, Axente Vanessa and Adina Fórizs also appeared on the catwalks. During New York Fashion Week, more emphasis was placed on environmental protection, many people experimented with patterns, and we also learned that next summer neon, floral patterns and studded pieces will no longer be trendy. Vivienne Westwood's models with colorful faces and her 'Climate Revolution' performance caused the greatest response. In addition to the 71-year-old punk designer, Louise Gray, Roksanda Ilincic, Philip Treacy, Meadham Kirchhoff and Acne's presentation attracted our attention.

Vivienne Westwood

“I don't really care about fashion. My job is now a good excuse to talk about what I'm really interested in, which is the climate revolution!" - Vivienne Westwood, protesting in a "Climate Revolution" T-shirt, told Vogue shortly before her presentation. The designer, who fervently supports the Cool Earth charity organization, repeatedly stated her motto: "Buy less, choose well and be the last" during London Fashion Week, with which she successfully drew attention to herself and her Red Label collection. The Westwood show, which can also be called a skit, opened by Charlotte Free, featured a confident designer's collection inspired by punks, vagabonds, pirates and underworld figures.

Louise Gray

Louise Gray's collections have always been characterized by rebellion, the use of accented colors and prints, and this season is no exception. The Scottish-born designer, who graduated from Central Saint Martins, was certainly influenced by the work of Keith Haring, as Haring's patterns echo in most of his clothes planned for next summer. Trained by Kate Middleton's Nicholas Kirkwood and the Smiley Company, Gray's spring 2013 pieces were relatively feminine, modern and fun: we liked the cardigans, pencil skirts and chiffon shirts the best.

Roksanda Ilincic

The whimsical world of French sculptor and painter Niki de Saint Phalle inspired Roksanda Illincic. The influence of the artist and the paintings of Josef Albers can be recognized in most of the pieces of the 1970s collection displayed in the Savoy ballroom. Illincic's spring-summer ensembles are made in terracotta, purple, raspberry, cob alt blue, dandelion and mustard yellow colors, which look great on black and white backgrounds. According to the designer, when making the clothes, he made sure that the light, airy pieces were not too elegant, not retro, but had a natural effect, and that they did not remind us of bossa nova disco music. The most interesting parts of the collection this year were the collar and cuff solutions.

Philip Treacy

The big returner of this year's fashion week is Philip Treacy, who after 13 years of silence presented his still fantastic hat poems at the Royal Courts of Justice. Kim Cattrall, Vivienne Westwood, Anna Dello Russo, Dita Von Teese and Gareth Pugh also applauded his crazy hat show, which opened his show with Lady Gaga and then featured only black models. Treacy built his new collection around the work and legend of Michael Jackson. The carousel, Mickey Mouse ears, shell, hybrid boat hats are made in memory of the theme park that is located on Jackson's Neverland estate. The highlight of the night was a model doing a Jackson dance in a bejeweled skull headdress.

Meadham Kirchhoff

The latest collection of the English-born Edward Meadham and the French Benjamin Kirchhoff was certainly born from the meeting of Moulin Rouge, Marie Poppins, Minnie Mouse and Little Bo Peep, popular in England. The models with curly hair walking down the catwalk with bouquets of flowers conjured up a kind of surreal, mystical world for the audience. The very focused collection turned out to be playful, old-fashioned and over-decorated.

Acne

Known for its distinctive light-red stitching and unisex ensembles, tóAcné was founded in Stockholm in 1996. The brand's creative director Jonny Johansson's Spring/Summer 2013 collection was inspired by Emmylou Harris' 1995 album Wrecking Ball. The collection aimed at romantic urbanites may have been conceived during the designer's experimental phase, but even then the brand's typically black, white, purple, deep green and striped pieces - with the exception of the gladiator shoes - became wearable. The jackets and coats with leather patches elevate the brand to one of the most successful collections of the 2013 spring-summer fashion week.
