All this fashion is making us giddy, here’s the round up of day three, part two.

Meadham Kirchoff’s show was a homage to Courtney Love, and it was a bizarre mix of glitzy grunge. Bright colours, boho lengths, and lots of layering. This was a far cry from Meadham Kirchoff’s usual understated designs. There were some nice pieces, but there was far too much going on to be able to concentrate on any particular style. A confused show.

You would be excused for thinking that Vivienne Westwood’s Red Label show was actually a spring collection. Zingy orange and pink tartans, and bright prints felt light and summery. It was of course a political statement and the theme was an anti-global warming campaign. The clothes and message were true to the Vivienne Westwood style, and there were some really strong pieces; the black peacoat, the silk shirt dress and the leopard print strapless dress were just three of our favourites.

Twenty8Twelve was a star studded affair, it was a presentation rather than a catwalk show, which saw models posing on stages dressed as 18^th Century parlour rooms. There was of course the famous designers Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah Miller, Matthew Williamson dropped by to lend his support, and Twiggy, Jameela Jamil and Pixie Lott were in attendance. As for the clothes, they were the wearable styles we’ve come to love. Highlights included a great black velvet mini dress, which had a low back, the knitwear was gorgeous and the heart pendants were divine. Twenty8Twelve is about stylish wearability, and it ticked both boxes.

Mulberry was also in a summer mood (see main image), and had a really strong jungle theme. Gorgeous leopard print shades sat beautifully in bold violet shades. These were followed by a stunning neutral and camel story which led onto moody charcoals. It goes without saying that we want all the bags, and we have our eye on the super soft violet leather jacket. Fun and wearable.

Key looks:

• Leather
• Colour: pink, purple & orange
• leopard print
