THE LONDON FASHION WEEK SHOWROOMS: MAWI'S SS13 COLLECTION

During London Fashion Week one wing of Somerset House tranforms into a mega style showroom where fashion and costume jewellery brands showcase their new-season collections. My personal highlight of SS13's showroom action was delivered by my favourite British jewellery house, Mawi.

If you're unfamiliar with the brand, Mawi is the go-to jewellery designer for luxurious statement pieces with a contemporary edge. Think oversize jewels, spike details, chunky chains and you're on the right lines. For SS13 Mawi's contemporary costume jewellery has taken on a more feminine feel, with pastel hues, iridescent jewels and gem-set petal details adding a softer edge. These are statement pieces with a feminine flourish.

Another new and very, very, very  excitement development for the jewellery house is the introduction of an all-new clutch bag line. Taking the concept of a statement necklace and translating it on to the front of a glitter-encrusted clutch, these are probably the culprit for my impromptu drooling. Here's my pictures of the collection:

Iridescent-effect jewels added a pretty-finish to statement styles.

So.... I want this necklace.

The ultimate statement necklace!

Cocktail rings and statement earrings.

The new line of clutch bags.

Neon is still a key colourtrend for SS13 at Mawi.
