London Fashion Week feels so long ago now, we’ve already had Milan and now the fashion pack is in Paris, but I think once you scroll down and see this post you will agree it was worth the wait, as for spring/summer 2016, Sophia Webster showcased her new #CrazySexyNautiCool collection in a fantasy mermaid launderette set-up. Yes, mermaid’s came to shore to wash their tails and wear their favourite shoes and it was incredible.

One thing that you are guaranteed with Sophia Webster is a fun, kooky presentation, we’ve had futuristic and a secret garden party, and now the British footwear designer who has been taking the fashion world by storm, decided on a nautical theme that was fun, romantic and cool.

What made this presentation had to be the staging created by acclaimed set designer Shona Heath, I was mesmerised by the mermaid, she had a moving tail, as well as models just casually lying down in a giant oyster shell, which kind of reminded me of the Little Mermaid, and there was even a model sat inside a washing machine. For me, the Sophia Webster presentation is always a highlight, but I think I may have even squealed a little at this setup. I have to be honest it’s a life-long ambition for me to own a unicorn and become a mermaid, so Sophia Webster’s imagination is right up my street. 

The collection itself was just as amazing as the set, vibrant with a nod to the ocean with marine motifs seen on heels and clutches, sandals covered with deep-sea coral, multi-strap sandals printed in a sea-blue tie-dye, as well as statement thigh-high sandals with multicoloured or black netting up the leg, which will not be for the faint-hearted. As well as loving all the amazing new designs I really did adore the models sporting swimming caps and vintage-inspired bathing suits they really suited the collection.

It wouldn’t be a Sophia Webster collection without her signature witty slogans on the shoes and speech-mark bags and for SS16 we have “Don’t Be Jelly”, “Beach Babe”, “Naughty Cool”, and “Beach Baby,” which, of course, comes on tiny baby-sized shoes. 

As well as the fun, which her core fans will love, love, love, there was also a more up-market glamour about some of the shoes and bags, with metallics and pearlised colours standing out, with the clutches featuring oversized pearls on the fastener.

I can’t decide which pair is my favourite – I think it might be the coral ones, but when it comes to the bags it has to be “Don’t Be Jelly”. Serious in love with Sophia Webster’s #CrazySexyNauticool collection.
