post a commentWonderful shapes, colors and patterns. Loving it!
all of it is beautiful and un-frilly.
i especially adore the orange camp-shirtdress.
*sP
The color are beautiful! I want the orange dress!
everything of this reminds me prada
The color pops are fantastic!! I wanna wear orange right now, lol:)
great pics!
Have a Fabulous day!
Statements in Fashion Blog
I love the models. The collection looks great on them! I agree, amazing show.
thestylesandwich.blogspot.com
The lighting and colors are awesome!
so fresh and fascinating colors!
prima!
Loved it also! :D I like the shape of the skirts, so feminine! :D
Yes, the colors are wonderful, yes, the models look healthy and yes, I love it even though it kinda looks like Prada.
Extremely fresh and crisp looking
Wow, super fresh!
I'm a sucker for those ankle wraps.
This is one of the few fashion shows I see and think "Wow, I could possibly wear some of those." Pretty much all high fashion nowadays is for sticks, and being not-so-skinny myself, I tend to scoff at most of the looks on the Sartorialist knowing that they wouldn't look good at all on me. A-line skirts look good on everyone, and they're classy and sexy. LOVING the red lipstick on the models.
Beautiful and fresh!
Squeaky clean and full of confidence. I let out a little gasp of delight when the page loaded. Thanks Scott!
http://www.iamsoagree.org
Oh I love the makeup for this show! I never get tired of the red lip / nude face look.
love love love the colors. now this is a job well done.
I like those kinda retro looks too.
No military, no edgy, no big attitude..... ^^
love the whole collection - just great!
YAY for color!
I am floored by ALL of these outfits! The color blocking combined with the softer florals and fabrics is really stunning.
And those shoes! Love the grey wrapped around the ankles. I adore it all!
I agree with you so much that this is the best collection in London. It is finally something fresh and modern, something that makes you feel a little bit inspired and happy. I don't want to be negative about fashion but nowadays it is often being really monotonous. The clothes and the name remind me of Jil Sanders which is also a good thing since I am a big fan of the brand :) Let's hope to have more positive vibes in Milano and Paris! I miss it !
Ohhh, I'm liking those two tone shoes.
LOVE the shoes
Wow! I'm a landscape architect and these dresses look like sexy portfolio shots of landscape plans...LOVE THESE. Thanks for posting!
I need to get some work done, so Scott, please stop posting so many amazing photos in one day!!! LOL.. what can I say, the colors with neutrals and then those bright colors that POP!!! Such Feminine outfits, and could work off the runway just they way they are.
angelspov.blogspot.com
Wow, I think this is my first time ever liking anything off a runway. New favorite designer? I think so.
Healthy? Look at no. 1 again…
Pretty!!!
This collection looks amazing!! Love it, so pretty and crisp!
www.rachaeldiab.blogspot.com
LOVE the colour. love the silhouettes, love love love!
I too, love the shapes. And buttoned collars!
Totally agree about the models looking healthy- they look fabulous!
I love this collection! The bold colours are great.

Jonathan Saunders - wow, what a star!
http://www.streetandcityphotos.blogspot.com/
Gorgeous, especially that orange dress. Alas, when I visit the Jonathan Saunders web site, I cannot locate any of these designs. :-(
I absolutely love the shoes as well. I want them in all the colors.
Could not agree more! Gorgeous & bright.
For some reason I also love the last model's little birthmark on her left leg. I have a leg birthmark too!
These clothes are so beautiful they make me want to cry.
loving the color blocking!!!
http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
So chic and so sexy :)
great photo :)
I could put one of these girls amongst my Swiss-designed home decor and she'd look perfect. And I mean that in a good way. Very clean and fresh.
2nd and 3rd outfit = AMAZING:)
these colors are great!
I love these looks!!
http://alafemme.blogspot.com
Those SHOES, especially the last pair.
Very crisp! I love that pleated skirt with the stripes on the bottom. Lovely!
Beautiful...
Please visit
thehautist.blogspot.com
Not to be snarky, but in what universe would these models be considered "healthy" looking?? They're all super skinny (as usual), especially the top one. Her arms are scary! That being said, these clothes are adorable. The orange dress is to die for.
So clean and fresh. I love these images. I want the clothes...

these girls look too serious.
but the styling is rad!
http://jimjims.net/
¡Great collection! Lovely colours.
Kisses, Privalia
http://bit.ly/privaliamexico
These designs and the shoes are a delicacy. And fantastic the combination of the colours with the tone of the skin of the models.
But they are not healthy at all.
I love the shoes!
www.FashionSnag.com
Georgeous! Thanks for posting these and yes, that orange dress is to die for.
Real nice candy colours used sparingly!
omg i love these!!! especially the first dress, just beautiful!!
fashionanatomie.blogspot.com
That first skirt almost made me die.
goodness gracious.
so clean, so crisp.
The first photo is brilliant. Well done, Mr. Schuman.
The orange dress with the turquoise belt...TO DIE FOR.
SR
Surprisingly I like it. It has that coming of age 60's housewife feel, but with color. I think now is the time to play with prints because let's face it there isn't much you can do to play with shape or shilouette anymore.
My, my! How pretty the tan dress and shoes are.
I love colour block & transparencies! smart dresses.
xx,
JON
http://jonathonfashionvictim.blogspot.com
nice, they look like a bunch of modern day versions of mad men secretaries, especially the orange one :)
Beautiful.
http://madeclassic.blogspot.com/
This collection is so wearable I love them :) And I really like the belts too.
Wow, how fresh and gorgeous colours. Very girly chic.
http://leeoliveira.com
awesome! now i know what to do with my gaff tape! i have a roll of silver that's just dying to be wrapped around my ankles. so glad i don't have cankles...
yeah, this collection is *awesome*. But I personally wouldn't use "healthy" to describe these models. They still look like other models who weigh 90 lbs.
This collection is amazing. I love the dress with the orange pattern, the beige ensemble and everything else.
Those colors! <3 <3
I agreed with Scott! The models look very healthy and pretty. In my opinion, most people who are still calling models skinny or unhealthy are way insecure about their appearance and are jealous. Sad.
The shoes are phenomenal. Love the high ankle-wrap around the ankle and the minimal coverage in the front. Fabulous.
look at that color and those prints! wow. love it.
http://www.informalthing.blogspot.com
Uh-oh... I think I'm the only person who really isn't digging this collection. The shapes strike me as boxy and awkward, and the colors seem garish, not playful, at least in combination. (I'd love the blue & green shoes with something else.) But I appreciate seeing the images with your commentary (and that of the other commenters)--it's fun to share ideas and impressions with smart, thoughtful people!
oh love the blue and green shoes!
The models do look super healthy! I love the top part of the dress in the first picture. I think adding sheer accents to dresses and tops like that are so beautiful if done right.
www.theafeminada.blogspot.com
well, the colors used here are rather refreshing! my favorite would have to be between the 1st and the 3rd.
yeah, i gotta say, while i dig the clothes, i wouldn't say the models are necessarily "healthy, sexy, and chic." maybe chic, but i see a lot of bones and flimsy arms and legs. this isn't to criticize those girls by any means, i'm just pointing out what i've observed. love the fashion, but wouldn't want to be one of the girls wearing it.
love them all... so fresh!
love the red lips!!!!
check out the new post at http://thetalesofselfindulgence.blogspot.com
This collection is amazing!!
I love almost everything, from the models to the shoes!

Check out our fashion illustrations at Illustrated-Moodboard.com ! = )
.
Cute shoes but too much toe cleavage for my tastes!
love the fresh prints and pops of colour against a quiet neutral backdrop. the make up is gorgeous - luminous skin, clean brows, juicy lips.
beautiful collection! it's a hit
They all look so chic...nice photography. Makes me wanna go back digital.....
Wow, agree, gorgeous! I love the orange print dress!
i love the plaided skirt!!! xxx
http://cestlamademoiselle.blogspot.com/
I'm smitten! And I really appreciate the just-above the knee option for those of us past the age of mid-thigh. All too often this past Spring and Summer I'd fall in love with a dress only to realize there wasn't quite enough of it. These are beautiful and remind me of the lovely dresses, skirts and blouses my mother wore in the early 60s.
Fantastic colours and shapes. Love these.
The orange dress! Oh my! I gasped with joy when I saw it! So pretty.
Prada meets Lilly Pulitzer. Vintage shapes, but with a totally modern palette and prints. (In fact, one of those prints looks just like a painting by Peter Alexander).
Beautiful, beautiful collection, with (again) elegant shoes, thank goodness.
I agree, the models look healthy and fresh here, not gaunt like in some shows. and the colours are so fun and uplifting! :)

The second photo is amazing!
I love color so much and I love what you have posted!
The shoes! So sexy and feminine!
Clothes and colors lovely as well....I agree there are a couple of things I can imagine wearing -which is unusual for "runway" clothes!
I'm really happy to the see the return of longer skirt lengths.
Undoubtly the best collection at LFW.
prim, creative and still commercial.
Absolutely beautiful!
I like more, this return of '50 years, that was amazing and crazy in the use of colors and of the woven clothes that seems not to coexist but is located so beautiful that likes.
My gosh! I luuuurrrrrrrve the shoes! Wish my pocket and wallet won't hurt if I buy one! ;)
LOVE how striking the colours are.
Loves these outfits! They are so retro with a splash of bright colors. amazing!
stunning stunning stunning!
Beautiful and wearable, right off the runway. How rare is that? I agree with a previous poster that these are a throwback to ladylike clothes my mom wore. The orange dress has wonderfully-fitting raglan sleeves, my favorite cut. Thanks for these wonderful photos!
love when designers use color so unabashedly—the shoes are wonderful accompaniments to these lovely garments. it's wild in the best way!
How fresh and bright. Especially the orange dress!
Very current with a look to the past without falling into the copy.
Love the color, classic yet daring. FAB!
the first dress is the best! awesome collection.
the-red-zebra.blogspot.com
OMG, I must get my hands on these clothes! I ADORE the orange and white colorblocked blouse + blue and white printed skirt.
amazing dresses!!!
http://www.blubbermaedchen.blogspot.com/
i love the orange dress with sweet baby blue splashes. i also love those blue shoes with green ribbon. Fantabulous!!
Orange band on the white shirt..Quirky.
I'm an instant fan!
OMG!
those Louboutins are like a cherry on a piece of cake!!
These girls are not healthy, far to skinny. I've had anorexia and workes with people with eating disorders and I'm not accusing them for having a eating disorder, but they certainly need to gain weight for being normal weight.
These clothes are just lovely. What a woman wants to wear.
the models look healthy, sexy???
@ therese: please , get a life.
not every skinny girl suffer from an eating disorder.
the girls DO LOOK HEALTHY AND NORMAL.
I have 2 daughters, they are skinny as those models and absolutely healthy in all aspects.ahh, and I am a medical doctor.
Those shoes look bloody awful. Like the models feet were about to slip out of them any second. They look terribly uncofortable and ill fitting. If you look at the pictures, you'll notice the models feet are hardly inside the shoes at all.
The first dress is absolutely gorgeous!!
Great pictures: you are completely right about colours, silhouettes and lines!
Overall London Fashion Week has been extremely disappointing. I guess London has disappeared off the world map of fashion this season. There were a few good collections, but so few! I would expect ten times that in NYC, twenty times that in Milan or in Paris.
I shall definitely remember Jonathan Saunders from now on.
http://davidikus.blogspot.com/
This show is really great. Compare to the Prada show. These clothes are wonderfully wearable.
The only problem I have is the length of some of the skirts. Whereas the length of the orange dress is perfect I just don't think the flare suits the shorter dresses. It's trying to make grown women look like little girls and I think this is a bad idea.
For some reason these outfits made me think of Grace Kelly.
love the first creation!
http://loresfashion.blogspot.com
i LOVE all of the looks! Structured yet playful!
http://limtdedition.blogspot.com
Oh yeah!!! Nothing to add to your comments :)
so sophisticated, and obviously sexy, in a subtle way. thank you for posting, haven't ever heard about this label, what a shame))
Is it just me, or is there something in the line and style of those shoes that make the foot look even more naked...than if the girls had been barefoot. Concealing to reveal. Very sexy
Love it, one of my favorites, got Gucci S/S 2011 look book from their fashion show, also liked Versace. Al in my blog under the Label Look book,
An avalanche of freshness! Love the style and the great use of color. And how about that orange print shirt dress....
This is the kind of selection I aspire to in my own wardrobe. If I could afford these pieces, I'd buy every single ensemble. Such a great twist on classic almost "Mad Men" style. Sigh. Knock off suggestions? Anyone?
Wow, I can see why! And it's just in the photos! What more if I saw them in actual? This is lovely overload! :)
that first dress, GAH!
these clothes are really and truly refreshing to see. sweetly feminine yet daring.
this almost makes me tired of the distressed and disheveled looks that are so prevalent.
FRESH.
thanks for sharing.
I love it! It makes me so happy when I see unique design on the runway that is actually wearable. That orange splatter print is fresh and beautiful on that classic silhouette. And, the turquoise accent is perfect.
i totally agree with the doctor who posted above..As a family doctor myself I see these models looking very healthy indeed.
what much of people don't still know is that what they see as "normal" is in reality slightly overweighted.
fantastic collection. the best from London
VIKIDEA loves Jonathan Saunders' outfits. Coloured and amazing dresses, so fresh and gorgeous
I think I am in Love...
Beautiful. I love this collection. I want these clothes. And the ballerina-esque shoes with the ankle wraps. Love the colors.I just love everything about it.
loves it~~!!! its colorful but it's not distracting!
love the looks and really appreciate your mentioning that the models look healthy, sexy and chic! so many models look so scary they almost unfairly turn me off from the clothing itself.
i love what the first model is wearing, i would love that, wonderful colouring, summer is finally here...
These outfits are so cute! Great collection :)
xo
Cassie
The colour looks amazing, especially as everyone in the background is wearing black!
Hey i was just looking through the Liberty London Girl blog and found a picture she took at this show. You are in it across the runway from her! I thought you might like to know.
Must have that orange dress now. I have always loved Jonathan Saunders. The shoes are genius. Simple so that the focus is on the clothing.
I will do anything to own that last skirt...its pure perfection.
Gorgeous collection
those colours are pure love
i agree, they certainly look healthy, and my what brilliant pairing of colours.
