Louise Gray - Now What?

Louise Gray the British designer who adds a tremendous sense of wit, colour and innovation to her collections, is to take a break from designing further collections for two seasons. The tough decision has been made as the result a tough economic climate.

Louise Gray will continue to be involved in fashion by working on a consultancy basis for other designers and brands including TopShop.

I do hope we will soon see Louise Gray's eponymous label back on the catwalk. Bringing with it her individual approach to women's fashion. Always with a great sense of fun.

As London Fashion Week approaches, I have been checking out the New Generation designers who will be showing their Spring Summer '13 collections there at the end of next week.

Huishan Zhang, a Central St. Martins graduate, immediately captured my attention with his elegant and contemporary designs. Influenced by Chinese culture and tradition, Zhang creates elegant pieces with a modern twist by layering and fusing shapes, pattern and colour. The "sexy and feminine" cheongsam dress is re-created throughout Zhang's collections to create his signature style of "Chinese tradition meets Western influence and modernity"

Huishan Zhang is my Label of the Month.

I will come back to you soon with a review of his Spring Summer '13 collection.
