Erdem Surreal Romance from London Fashion Week Spring 2009 ...

Soft, hyper-romantic, easy but a bit surreal at the same time – that's exactly how Erdem Moralioglu **described his **London Fashion Week Spring 2009 collection.

"I've got all these images of seventies theater productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Eton boys wearing flowers in their boaters," the designer said backstage – and what an inspiration that was!

From the prettily designed French lace creations to the flower-printed bodice to frilled embroideries – Erdem's take on the trends which will dominate the fashion scene next year is simply breathtaking.
Sarah Mower of Style.com described this number as a "tiered ice-blue lace Edwardiana dress with an orange ribbon clashingly threaded through it" – and it's a glimpse of the exquisite items which followed.

To describe the general look of the runway show, here's what Sarah Mower had to say:

They made for a spellbinding show by an exceptional talent whose self-taught standards of workmanship almost put his creations on an equal footing with some of the things seen in haute couture."
