Versus Versace: Athleisure reigned supreme at Versus where sports-style collegiate silhouettes in black, maroon and navy stormed down the runway.

Toga: Yasuko Furuta sent a wide range of shapes, silhouettes and colours down the Toga runway with an emphasis on layered proportions.

Temperley London: Alice Temperley's latest collection consisted of pretty floral prints, embroideries and structured cuts. We love the collection's cute pierrot collars.

Teatum Jones: A visually rich palette and luxurious fabrics set the tone for an opulent collection at Teatum Jones. Movement and fluidity were key, with bell sleeves and detailed draping adding graceful movement to the clothes.

Simone Rocha: Simone Rocha created her collection with inclusivity in mind. Intended to cater for women of all ages, Rocha drove this message home with her casting by including a careful mix of young and older models.

Roland Mouret: The beautiful dresses, skirts and suits on the runway at Roland Mouret held plenty of potential for the working woman. Structured jackets in grape shades will be a welcome change to the blazer while the fluid silk dresses in shades of blue and mushroom will transition effortlessly from day to night.

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi: Tomboy tailoring met romantic vintage ruffles at Preen. Delicate floral prints clashed against outfits in purple,red and mustard.

Ports 1961: Beautiful embellishment met deconstructed shirting and slouchy oversized knits at Ports, conveying a vibe that was both simultaneously polished and relaxed.

Julien MacDonald: Julien Macdonald offered up his usual edit of party gowns and dresses in gleaming metallics and black with bright jolts of red illuminating the collection.

Jasper Conran: An autumnal palette ensued at Jasper Conran with khaki green, amber, brown and oxblood forming the backbone of the collection. Slouchy knits and oversized coats created a cosy feeling while streamline trousers and cut out tops had evening dressing covered.

Gareth Pugh: Dark and moody would be the best words to describe Gareth Pugh's autumn/winter17 collection. Reflecting the designer's present political views, exaggerated silhouettes in billowing black fabrics brought an ominous edge to the collection.

Eden Choi: Eudon Choi offered up an arsenal of new season workwear staples in captivating hues. Rich shades of green, shimmering mauve and zesty orange are bound to pack a stylish punch in a working environment.

David Koma: David Koma referenced his Georgian heritage for his autumn/winter17 collection. What resulted was an elegant collection comprised of clean, angular cuts elevated with embellishments and lama wool trims.

DAKS: Sharp tailoring came to the fore at DAKS in the form of blazers, trench coats, pencil skirts and cropped trousers.

Anya Hindmarch: Anya Hindmarch took her collection in a Nordic direction adding Swedish folk at references to her playful colour palette.

Antonio Berardi: The Italian designer known for his eveningwear delved into the realm of day inviting knitwear and parkas into his offering. Silhouettes in dense fabrics continued the trend towards British heritage echoing the aesthetic of Lady Macbeth while decadent voluminous detailing on cuffs and collars shadowed the court of Henry VIII.

Christopher Kane: Offering a shining solution to our winter wardrobes, Kane’s models came out with iridescent foil folds and space age prints.

Chalayan: Chalayan weaves a charmed web between performance, art and technology. Tailoring told stories of traditional Greek folklore while fabrics like velvet, felt and wool radiated old-world warmth in a muted palette of grey, black, rose-brown, navy and white.

Erdem: Taking cues from his combined Turkish and Scottish heritage the designer married Ottoman necklines and Middle Eastern detailing with Victoriana bodices and officer-style coats.

Mary Katrantzou: Fantasia found a new home amongst the Greek designer’s latest dreamy collection. Fairytale nymphs, and creatures of the forest roamed across magical sequined patterns. Feminine silhouettes were formed in perfectly puffed sleeves, cinched-in waists, and the ankle skimming cigarette pants.

Mulberry: A story of English country life came into play amid Johnny Coca’s third collection. The tweeds and hunting attire of British aristocracy were given an update with elements of asymmetry, oversized sweaters and layered capes with playful injections of turquoise, purple, mustard and cornflower blue.

Roksanda: The Serbian’s ‘warrior women’ wore a powerful palette of reds ranging from rust to crimson and ruby. Patent leather, puffed up sleeves and quilting summoned strength while silky harem pants and decadent detailing recalled the aesthetics of the East
