Marcus Lupfer, up and coming designer, been creating designs for 10 years, was chosen to make a presentation at LFW AW12.

LFW Sept 2011
A few of my favourite designers from LFW 2011
DAVID KOMA
with his embellished applique of hard wear and edgy structures.
MARY KATRANTZOU'S gorgeously flowing, bold patterns and asymmetric designs are a trend setting winner for the high street.
JASPER CONRAN'S unique yet commercial taste will satisfy all our female styles and comfort.
JAEGER LONDON. Understated style and flair. Simply elegant.
OSMAN, is sophisticated and innovative with a touch of class.
AMINAKA WILMONT is a contender for the runway, with her savvy, outlandish patterns and shapes.
MARIOS SCHWAB has a sheer and unique take on a petite and waif like physique. Very daring and risque designs.
BURBERRY PRORSUM the familiar trenchcoat has been given an urban edge without loosing that Burberry trademark.
UNIQUE. The high street style council, that is Topshop.
HOLLY FULTON,sponsored by Newgen Topshop. Holly's designs embraces bold, bright and almost ethnic like prints, with subtly placed applique detailing.
TOPMAN DESIGN. One of the favourites for the men's ever first runway days.
MICHAEL VAN DER HAM, is definitively inspired by the odd splash of print, with a dash of turquoise. Giving us a surreal look on spring styles to come.
TODD LYNN. Gives us some asymmetrical wonders with sheer coverage.
BORA. Imaginative, edgy and intrinsic detailing. Giving us pure glam and wow factor.
JEAN PIERRE BRAGANZA. Lady sophisticate with a architectural tailored twist, of some sort.
FELDER & FELDER dynamic duo, deliver an ensemble of metallic, tie dye fluid fancy outfits.
JOHN ROCHA. Brings out the Indian inspired, feathered frenzy.
MEADHAM KIRCHHOFF. Ever so theatrical duo. Full of candy delights and colourful brights. happy birthday or whatever the celebration is, they are doing it. It's almost like an 'Ode to the unrepresented Betty Jackson- eat your heart out, Betty, lots to nibble on at this party.
AMANDA WAKELEY Simply divine embellished gowns.
LOUISE GRAY brings an unusual mayhem of colour splash
ISSA good time to be in London. What a great sense of colour prints for the beach and great lengths for those hot humid summer evenings. grace and style, making this collection one to watch out for in the high street as well as indoors.
A fabulocious line up of collections from many of the designers at LFW AW11.
Hope you as much fun as I did, relishing the greatness that is before us for 2012.
