London designer Erdem Moralioglu has garnered a long list of fans with his delicate, ice cream-coloured floral dresses, but this season he decided to put a darker twist on his romantic style. The show began with all-black dress and coat ensembles, with a rich mix of textures to keep things interesting: Feather trims, boucle, exposed zips and shimmering sequins on sheer blouses. There were deep burgundy and black lace dresses with a contrasting pale blue collar, followed by Erdem's signature florals in knee-length dresses. The frocks introduced pinks, purples and neon yellows to the collection's palette, though the color was largely subdued by the sheer black layers over them. The final pieces of the collection returned to just black, playing on sheer layers of lace, velvet and polka dots — sometimes all together.

Fashion shows have been known to feature a little bit of behind and even racy topless models. But Pam Hogg has pushed nudity to the max. The British designer sent her models down the runway at London Fashion Week in a bold palette of black, red and white done in shiny materials with sculptural hats. But mostly, her models were naked. Actually naked. It was a bold move, one Pam Hogg has toyed with before. But does it detract from the fashion? Here's a selection of snaps that leave just a little bit to the imagination.

Burberry Prorsum has taken its classic trench coats on safari for a makeover. In a catwalk show that drew stars such as Kate Beckinsale and Michelle Dockery to its front row on Monday, the luxury British brand updated its coats with calfskin and mink in bold leopard and giraffe prints, cinched in with glossy gold belts. The slick runway display - the glitziest of London Fashion Week shows - was just the latest example of how deftly creative director Christopher Bailey combined Burberry's venerable English roots with trendy designs to produce clothes and accessories coveted by women worldwide.

Ford's show included lacy black tops, brightly coloured metallic skirts, and long, form-fitting black dresses set off by explosive sunbursts of sequinned, metallic colour. The American designer also made use of leopard-printed coats of varying lengths and — in a nod to the 1960s — soft black leather jackets with fringes in the back. Other outfits emphasized a basic colour palette of black and white in interesting contrasts, playing on a zebra-striped theme. The outfits were not revealing but very feminine and flattering, with many jackets offering high neck collars and dramatic shapes.

Few designers so consistently mix fashion with politics, or manage to secure her fans' adoration with the same looks almost every season. But Vivienne Westwood is not any designer. The flame-haired grand dame of British fashion on Sunday sent her models marching down the catwalk in her signature tight-fitting dresses and nipped-in jackets, then in the finale joined them wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a giant image of her own face and a slogan that read "I am Julian Assange." Westwood has been selling the Assange T-shirts to raise funds and support for the WikiLeaks founder, who is living in the Ecuador's Embassy in London. He is seeking asylum from the country to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault questions. - AP
