Models Backstage at London Fashion Week: Neons at Christopher Kane, Coco Rocha at Giles, and More
>> Alessandra Ambrosio has taken a couple of turns on the Spring 2011 catwalks — the latest was at Giles, where she wore her bread and butter: a bikini.
>> Alessandra Ambrosio has taken a couple of turns on the Spring 2011 catwalks — the latest was at Giles, where she wore her bread and butter: a bikini. "I wake up and read [show stylist] Katie [Grand]'s message on my phone — 'Are you okay wearing a bikini?'" she told The Cut. "I had to think second thoughts about what I was going to have for breakfast. [But] I'm like, 'I guess.' Because I'm Brazilian and I do Victoria's Secret, it wouldn't be polite to say I'm not okay. As long as it's not a G-string, I'm okay. I'm a mom now: I can't [do G-strings]." See Ambrosio, Jessica Stam, and more doing the backstage thing during London Fashion Week — we've got snaps from Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles, Mary Katrantzou, Matthew Williamson, Marios Schwab, Mark Fast, Peter Pilotto, Pringle of Scotland, Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders, Topshop Unique, and Vivienne Westwood.

Sneak Peek! Jonathan Saunders For Topshop
Jonathan Saunders is still going strong with his collaboration with Topshop.
Jonathan Saunders is still going strong with his collaboration with Topshop. While his past collections with the retail giant were bright and bold, his latest offerings hit a different note. "My collection for Topshop this season has been inspired by sportswear and workwear, as well as the bold and graphic shapes of the Memphis movement. It’s perfect for urban city dwellers," said Saunders. His new line, debuting Jan. 22, takes on a more minimal approach using geometric shapes and color blocking techniques. The only colors used are black and white, with tricolor denim as the focal point. I like how the '90s-inspired silhouettes are tempered with his iconic modern prints. Keep on to see more from his latest collection!
