Matthew Williamson’s woman is all partied out and ready to be a grown up. This was one of the most surprising moments in London fashion week, and a very good one at that. This collection had me doing a double take. Right? Finally! Mr Williamson emerges. Look after look, girl after girl…Clean. GASP. Cool. GASP.…

Christopher Kane is having a moment. With bright lights and pompoms to boot.
