London Fashion Week Spring 2016 may be over, but the Brits are proving yet again that they are a force to be reckoned with. It was an important season for many: Jonathan Saunders was under the magnifying glass after inheriting a new investor, with all eyes were on him to see what direction his collection would take. J.W. Anderson took the approach of doing what felt right, whether or not it made sense in the eye of the observer. Meanwhile, Erdem and Simone Rocha both, while staying true to their aesthetic, catapulted themselves to a new, more defined level.
Here are the 5 trends we saw most prominently within London Fashion Week Spring 2016.

The ruffle Ruffles were seen everywhere from Erdem to Mary Katrantzou and Giles. The British designers seem to searching for a new way to add girlishness to both 2D and 3D silhouettes and with the perma-rise of oversize on the runways it was refreshing to see ruffles adding a level of pretty.
