We caught our first show of London Fashion Week this afternoon, and it was a suitably smart affair.

Taking over the new, all-white catwalks, the Daks models were a study in Riviera sophtistication.

The Made In Chelsea crew - Rosie, Ollie and Amber - got cosy on the front row to take in the show, which featured a mix of tailored black and plaid separates.

Standout pieces included a chiffon blouse tucked into what appeared to be a long silk-jersey skirt worn above the bust as a dress, a checked dress with a plunging neckline, plenty of headscarves (tied neatly around the whole head) and, of course, the black-veiled bride.

"The black veil is all I can think about," said Lauren Smith, our junior fashion editor. "It was amazing." It was a dramatic close to a crisp, clean and modern take on Riviera dressing.

Who's shopping it? Anyone you'd class as an uptown girl - we're thinking Olivia Palermo and Poppy Delevingne. It's Oscar de la Renta for this side of the pond.
