Mariana Jungmann shines at the London fashion week with lace and embroidery

By: Márcio Rodrigo Delgado - London Special

It's not every day that Maria Bonita, a Brazilian outlaw with status of a 'folk heroine', is mentioned in a fashion press release - let alone in the same paragraph as the French Marie Antoinette. But then, it isn’t every day that you receive a press release that comes with Brazilian sweets and collagen jellybeans – I even didn’t know that such a treat existed.

Welcome to Mariana Jungmann’s SS17 presentation at the Vinyl Factory collection. Brazilian-born with a degree at London College of Fashion, Jungmann has adopted Renaissance lace making as her trademark.

As per the collagen jellybeans... I am still to find out if they were of any help to make me look younger. Ate them all, just in case. Who knows, maybe next season I will look 20 something.

THE CALM IN BETWEEN CATWALKS

A calm day, recharging the batteries after five days non-stop of London Fashion Week, and getting ready to start all over again tomorrow, this time in Milan.

It will be a different vibe. New faces and some known ones, too. However having just checked the weather (I probably shouldn't have done it) I learned that one thing will be exactly the same: the weather. Raining at times, mostly cold. Just like London has been lately.

Lets the fashion warm us all with creativity, then.

LE KILT AT UNION CLUB

Sometimes surprises comes in double takes. I wasn’t aware of Le Kilt until last week. Nor their venue of choice to showcase its AW16 collection during the London Fashion Week.

So it was refreshing to see Samantha McCoach's work for the label, a feminine and modern take on traditional Scottish craft that could easily be part of female wardrobes ready to successfully hit the streets.

The Union Club, a private members club in a listed Georgian town house launched in early 90s, in Soho, added charm to the presentation featuring well-crafted skirts, delicate loose tops and kilts. Lots of them.
