The fashion shows in London, we are serious?

That was something that did not return to Fashion Week Fall Winter 2011 2012 in London we had already suspected from the very first show, to Paul Costelloe in which, instead of the usual atmosphere of the Victorian and the Goth clothes from the lives and narrow short skirts, flared, we found ourselves in front of a parade of tailleurini coats and wool boucle and herringbone wool.

Definitely weird to open a week like that in London, where eclecticism was the order of the day. Yet, day after day, the parades have confirmed that the trend anticipated by the parade of Costelloe exists and that the English seem to have creativity, so to speak, "given an attitude." Despite the usual experimentation and stored el'ultrapop street style is split in order to elect the full skirt + jacket, so dear to the Queen Elizabeth.

Who does not believe in "granny style" go and look at the collection of House of Holland, one of the pillars of the London hipster created by top alternatives such as Agyness Deyn and Pixie Geldof and soap and water as it girl Alexa Chung. His Fall / Winter 2011/2012 fashion show is a riot of tweed outfits from collegiate and patchwork vest that seem to be covered stolen from her grandmother's house.

And the list of "new serious" is long: Paul Smith, who draws a perfect wardrobe straight out of Oxford for an intellectual with glasses of celluloid, turtlenecks and pants men, Burberry style rocker who left to take refuge in a world of colorful sweaters worked in irons, variations of the classic pop and check tweed trousers, Christopher Kane opens the show with an array of looks if not bon ton least tricot "compound." Yet there is something that does not convince us fully.

Of course, the fabrics are classic and icons, men's pants from the suit, would seem a formality to bring unusual, but just look carefully to understand that the viability el'irriverenza English have not been lost on the road, indeed. Although it is true that Henry Holland has veered from leggings + t-shirts to jackets + trousers cigarette, it is also true that this is often shortened trousers above the knee to become almost a cyclist and that under the tweed jacket is hiding usual provocative shirt.

And so for the other "classmates" who pretend to be model pupils but in reality are casinos more than the others: two from the Christopher Bailey and Kane, the first to cram the parade of Burberry fur and leather details that make even the most aggressive classic sweaters, the second is yes, take the knitted patchwork, but then declines in the printed version on a full nappa leather with details in transparent plastic containing a strange colored liquid.

Not to mention Paul Smith, who true to itself does nothing but make her even more sexy woman, male and transparent shirt with blazer worn on bare skin is more alluring than ever. Well, maybe the catwalks of London do nothing but reflect the dual personality of a Britain that now more than ever, with the announcement of the marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton commoner, reveals its contradictions and the gap of a company still strongly tied to its traditions but also the epicenter of youth culture increasingly alive.
