Sade’s Son Izaak Adu Made His Catwalk Debut At Yesterday’s Celeb-Packed Burberry Show

Monday night ended on a high - with the announcement of this year's Woolmark Prize winners. Both Richard Malone, the Wexford-born womenswear designer who won the International Woolmark Prize, and Emily Adams Bode, who was awarded the inaugural Karl Lagerfeld Award for Innovation, have been recognised for putting sustainability and transparency at the heart of their businesses. Richard works with weavers in Tamil Nadu, India, and uses plant-based dyes instead of traditional chemicals, while Emily works with deadstock fabrics found in abandoned factories.

Riccardo Tisci pulled in the big guns for his AW20 show, with the stellar line-up including Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner, Joan Smalls, the Hadid sisters and, making his debut, Sade's son Izaak Adu. With a whopping 108 looks, it was new-gen Burberry at its best.

JW Anderson's shoulder-pads, which shimmered on checked coats, blanket capes, sequinned frocks and ribbed sweaters, are sure to turn heads in September.

The ultimate Insta-bait moment at Erdem's AW20 show was the headdress of giant plumes attached to this model's head. As long as the doorways you're walking through are as lofty as the National Portrait Gallery's, you won't have a problem.

Simone Rocha's AW20 collection was a meditation on 'birth', 'life' and 'loss' - and had plenty for the 21st century bride to bookmark. Can you imagine getting married in this lace-veiled and flower-crowned ensemble for starters?

Roksanda's colour-filled AW collection, a collaboration with the British-Bangladeshi visual artist Rana Begum, fitted the pomp and circumstance of The Foreign & Commonwealth Office to perfection. This ruffled number's drama is pushing all the right buttons.

Emilia Wickstead majors in chintzy fabrics that somehow steer clear from saccharine territory - and AW20 had plenty for print lovers. The matching frock, cape, gloves and pointed pumps on this model had a butter-wouldn't-melt kind of beauty.

The mood was set to modern bourgeois at Victoria Beckham, with fluid black dresses cinched with leather belts, boots that came scrunched to the leg and the kind of outfit-making outerwear that real women will clamour to wear come autumn.

The Peckham-based designer Richard Quinn is fast-becoming one of the hottest tickets on London's packed schedule. His AW20 show was styled by the ultimate French editrix, Carine Roitfeld, with a live rendition of 'Dancing Queen' that proved almost tear-inducing next to the 'working-class couture' clothes. Ah, the clothes, which encompassed modern day pearly kings and queens, whose entire bodies were covered with minute embroideries and the mantra, 'God Save The Quinn', dreamy ballgowns that wafted down the runway and his exuberant-as-ever florals.

A last-minute venue change didn't stop Natalia Alaverdian delivering an on-point collection of real women's clothes. On our wishlists for autumn include the jumbo quilted coat, the pleated shirt dresses with elongated point collars, the zip-tops, the checked skirts, the leather separates, oh, just about everything.

Rejina Pyo puts out the kind of collections where you immediately want everything, and we mean everything off the catwalk. For autumn, we'll be channeling the woman wearing the cobalt leather trouser suit. Fierce, no?

The drum 'n' bass soundtrack was a fitting contrast to the froth at Molly Goddard. This season, the designer layered her signature tulle over wearable separates to delicious effect. A semi-sheer peachy top was popped over a Fairisle cardi and checked trews, while chunky striped sweaters sat underneath millefeuille-skirt pinafores. The beanie hats bedecked with taffeta bows? The cherry on top.

Matty Bovan doesn't do shows, but rather spectacles. Last night's 'Off World' collection, a science fiction term that means being in space, included reject garments from Fiorucci and Liberty cushions that were used to make his doorway-sized skirts even more sumptuous. The brilliant final flourish was three looks that came with their own curtains. Clever, no?

As a nation obsessed with The Crown, it made sense that Shrimps's Hannah Weiland was inspired by Her Maj's hobbies and wardrobe for AW20. Cue a regal collection of floor-sweeping faux-fur coats with matching muffs and knitted sweaters with built-in balaclavas. The icing on the cake? The fittingly coiffed hairdos.

Richard Malone's makes look-twice shapes and textures look effortless. The designer's collection was heavy with sustainable credentials - he used upcycled felt and regenerated econyl - thanks to his partnership with The Woolmark Company.

Lena Dunham made a surprise appearance at 16 Arlington's debut catwalk show. The actor is a famous fan of the design duo - she wore a sequined and feathered creation in fire colours to the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premiere last July - and it's not hard to see why. The collection, inspired by Chinese photographer Ren Hang, was a joyful celebration of out-out dressing, from the peekaboo party tops to the body-hugging pencil skirts. Fetish at its finest.

Inspired by some of the silver screen's greatest characters - Scarlett O'Hara, Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jessica Rabbit were just three listed - Ashley Williams's AW20 offering was a typically playful mix of shift dresses, bearing the blown-up photographs of dogs and cats, frou-frou party frocks and her signature good-time girl hair accessories. She upcycled old samples - and even provided a helpful suggestions list of how to be more sustainable on her show notes. Favourite entries included, 'Use a cheesegrater to display your jewellery,' and 'Transform adult socks into toddler leggings.'

For her debut solo collection - she showed as part of last season's Fashion East collective - the Chinese designer Yuhan Wang looked to the rituals of mourning and funeral ceremonies in the Victorian era. The results were an exquisitely rendered collection of 'walking suits' in a frayed, tapestry-like fabric, Sunday-best coats, buttoned-up boots and hats like looked like part of a bee-keeper's uniform. The Atonement green dress, worn with a cascading necklace of pearls, is crying out for a red carpet moment.
