Sunday night in the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair the catwalk was strewn with petals for the showing of Luna Skys S/S13 collection. Luna Sky is a London based designer who creates red carpet pieces for the “modern elegant women”

Never having heard of the designer before, I was interested to see what we would be treated to. In the description of the collections that awaited us on our seats, Swarovski crystals and sequins were mentioned and, having never been a fan of either I have to admit I was a little skeptical. However as the lights went down and the first model walked slowly down the catwalk i have to say I was impressed

Each dress was elegant, well made and feminine. From hem lines that scraped the knee, to full blow trains embroidered with petals and crystals each dress was red carpet worthy and reminiscent of American prom style dresses.

The models one at a time dream like floating down the catwalk their hair swept back, make up minimal and elegant. The colour pallet ranged fromsSoft blues to greens and yellows.

Finishing touches completed the look, for example matching floral pom pom shoes  added a  cute twist, and strings of crystals and delicate material flowers wrapped themselves around the models wrists.

A particular favourite was a one shoulder number in light blue which came down the the thigh, over the top of the skirt was a see through train which sashayed down the catwalk creating a young yet sophisticated look.

It was refreshing to see a catwalk show done slowly one model at the time and it felt as if the audience had been taken back to a private viewing in the 1950’s.

Afterward having a post show drink with a friend in a bar I ran into one of the models Chloe Woollcott who had come down from the Scottish Island of Rothesay to model for Luna Sky. She herself enjoyed modeling the collection and found them well fitting, (despite some of the dresses and heels being a little hard to walk down a catwalk in) . She stood out , looking lovely in the crowded bar with her 50’s vibe  hair and make up still in place from the show.

Luna Sky’s collection is defiantly a must for any young woman who wants to look and feel like a princess!
