MailOnline-News: Is the Topshop Unique show the coolest catwalk at London Fashion Week? Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, Daisy Lowe and Samantha Barks lead the celebs on the front row

It's a high street retailer that has grown a celebrity following over the years, so it's no surprise to see so many VIPs on the front row of Topshop Unique's London Fashion Week show.
Collaborator and best friend of Sir Phillip Green, Kate Moss was present, front and centre, sat between the fashion mogul and his son Brandon, with Anna Wintour's sartorial presence felt one seat along.

But the young hot things of TV, film and music were also taking in the spring/summer 2014 offerings from Topshop's capsule premium range, with Daisy Lowe and Samantha Barks hugging and giggling while they watched Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn strut their way down the runway at Regent's University on Sunday.

Anna Wintour's attendance certainly proved that Topshop is a fashionable force to be reckoned with, and will no doubt be gracing the glossy pages of U.S. Vogue.
From behind her trademark sunglasses she took in the new season garments, while a few seats down from her, Pixie Geldof captured the models on her phone, saving the images so she could decide which items she would have to add to her wardrobe.
But the model may not have had a chance to get back to her own closet, as she was wearing the same blue turn-up trousers she wore at the W Magazine dinner hosted by Cara Delevingne the night before.
Still she looked fresh-faced with a flash of red lipstick to colour her smile while chatting to Ellie Goulding, who has been attending the majority of shows this LFW season, having attended the PPQ and House Of Holland runways in stylish fashion.
Providing a cheerful scene were Daisy Lowe and Samantha Barks, who like school girls reuniting after a long summer, smiled and chatted as the models walked down the runway.
Tweeting after the show, the Les Miserablés star wrote: 'Had so much fun with my soulmate @daisylowe at the @Topshop #Unique #ss14 show! Amazing venue very cool show!! :) xxx'.
Suki Waterhouse, who hasn't yet walked in any of this season's shows, was sat on the front row.

She tweeted after the show: 'The clothes were great but the best part of the topshop fashion show was running into the SEXAY @charli_xcx'.
Hayley Atwell took time away from Trafalgar Studios - where she is starring in The Pride - to enjoy the fashionable offerings on the London Fashion Week calendar. She arrived in towering black lace up boots and a satin lingerie-style pair of shorts with a loose black top, floppy hat and bundles of gold jewellery.

TOPSHOP UNIQUE SS14 - LIZ JONES AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

Thank goodness. Topshop Unique has, for the past few seasons, been far too tasteful, and grown up, and sober.
This new collection, held in an extremely soggy tent in Regent’s Park, with Kate Moss sat front row next to owner Philip Green, managed to be both pretty and edgy at the same time. I loved the satin, bias cut slip dresses, which were almost backless (fashion’s new erogenous zone), and in jewel colours. Easy pyjama bottoms came printed, or in satin with a colour blocked hem, worn beneath cropped sweaters. Best of all were the kaftan dresses, and the use of striped shirting for mini dresses: it’s as though you have woken up after a big night out, and slung on your boyfriend’s shirt over bare legs and a smile.
The trapeze top, which is a cut-off smock shape, will have parents worried their teenager daughter is pregnant, but it’s a new shape you just cannot escape next spring. My favourite garment was a rough hewn sailor’s top seemingly made out of an old post bag, with tassels, and a hood: it looks much better than  it sounds. Colours were deep purple to powder blue and navy, with sequins kept to a minimum, thank goodness, and NO LACE!!! Hurrah!

Shoes were pretty sensible, and mostly flat silver plimsolls or slides, but I wonder if this was not just because of the uneven turf. And can someone tell me what was going on with the model whose mascara had run and looked as though she was in a coma?

BACKSTAGE BEAUTY AT TOPSHOP UNIQUE by Bianca London at London Fashion Week

Hannah Murray, Topshop Beauty Consultant, was responsible for creating the S/S14 look backstage at today's show using none other than Topshop Beauty.
Inspired by wild heady Ibiza days and the endless freedom of summer where days and nights all roll into one, Hannah worked her magic on the girls to create a beachy yet sultry look.
Speaking to MailOnline backstage at the show she said: 'The look is dishevelled, decayed and sultry. We have used the new matte bronzer to sculpt the face and achieve that undone, lived-in, effortlessly cool Ibiza beach beauty.'

Skin was effortlessly bronzed and matte in texture and Hannah swept a golden metallic dusty plum blush over the cheeks for a sun-kissed glow.
The eyes took centre stage on the catwalk today and were lived-in, sexy eyes that had been smudged with a grunge stick to give a wet feel.
'The eyes take centre stage this summer at Topshop Beauty. Tough, heavy, destroyed kohl lines the lower eye. Gloss is layered on the lid over a soft metallic brown eye shadow for a high shine finish.
'Inspired by the scattered mirrored embellishment seen in the Unique SS'14 Collection, metallic silver liner is applied in the corner of the eye to glimmer in the sunlight and we've asked the girls to scrunch their eyes up, whilst brows were brushed.'
The look was completed with a sheer lip to complement the neutral tones of the bronzed skin and gently lined for soft definition, which gave the likes of Cara, Rosie and Jourdan their catwalk glow.
Beach babe: The look was inspired by long, lazy days and endless nights partying in Ibiza, as shown on Jourdan (L), the face chart (centre) and Rosie Tapner (R)
