  • Story Text: Day four of London Fashion Week sees Julien Macdonald's collection.
    Julien Macdonald's Autumn\Winter 2009 collection featured devilishly short black dresses and grey motorcycle jackets and trousers, all with zipper detailing.
    Macdonald showed his collection on the fourth day of London Fashion Week.
    Vogue magazine cover-girl Stella Tenant opened the show, teetering on stilettos and wearing a slate-coloured cinched jacket and skin-tight trousers.
    Macdonald's blazers had exaggerated shoulders that curved upwards, while his blouses were billowing with plunging v-necks.
    For evening, the Welsh-born designer made blue and black floor-length dresses emblazoned with glittering blue stones to look like a starburst.
    He also created a minidress of coiled black netting and rhinestones that that looked like a glittering cobweb.
    Backstage, the designer told Reuters Television about his inspiration for the collection:
