One thing was clear from London Fashion Week spring 2017: fashion isn't Brexiting any time soon. Strong collections from established and emerging designers attest to the long line of talent that shows in the UK. Storied houses like Burberry implemented new practices like gender-blurring designs and see-now-shop-now strategies. Breakout designers like Molly Goddard and Marques'Alemida continued to find new ways to deconstruct and reenvision styles for the runway. Then there were the front rows full of celebrities and the great fashion on the city's streets that just gets better during Fashion Week.

Here were some of our favorite moments and the most memorable trends from LFW spring 2017.

Known for her cheeky accessories, Charlotte Olympia put on a sexy show to celebrate her spring collection, inspired by the Copacabana Club. Fruity props and Carmen Miranda tunes filled the Sheraton Grand Park Lane Hotel's Art Deco ballroom in London. The '40s themed dinner club setting perfectly set the stage for Olympia's new kitschy platforms and stilettos, sure to put a spring in the step wearers and a smile on the face of admirers.

2. Crocs at Christopher Kane

Sending the fashion world into a collective tizzy, the Scottish designer paired the much maligned utility shoe with his bold feminine creations. Naturally, these weren't the standard Crocs one can pick up at any chain store; Kane bedazzled his with earthy crystals and rocks. His knack for appropriation and invention, and his elevation of a mundane object to a covetable luxury good, proves why he is one of the most exciting designers practicing now. Whether that will put Crocs back in black remains to be seen. But Kane's touch certainly can't hurt. As the brand acknowledged in a statement, " Christopher Kane 's signature of constant innovation and rebellious femininity perfectly complements one of Crocs."

3. Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik take London Image: InDigital Images

Model Gigi Hadid and pop star boyfriend Zayn Malik, snapped here at Versus Versace, where they watched Gigi's sister Bella open the show, charmed all of London with their front row affections and after-hours activities. The Daily Mail tracked their movements, describing every outfit, entrance and exit in dramatic tabloid style. An example: "Zayn and Gigi only had eyes for each other as they stylishly arrived at the Versace catwalk event at London Fashion Week."

4. Erdem's straw hats and shipwreck Image: InDigital Images

Among a shipwreck, models at Erdem Moralioglu's Spring 2017 show wore elaborate couture gowns encrusted with hidden caches of rhinestones. Based on the 1642 sinking of an English vessel on a royal mission to the Netherlands, and a dress recovered from that wreckage in 2014, Erdem created a spooky but regal setting for his runway. Like anonymous spirits from another era, many models wore black straw hats that completely obscured their faces as they walked on planks wearing the Canadian designer's romantic dresses trimmed with grosgrain bows, royal prints with flowers and Roman numerals and pearls from the deep.

5. Burberry's gender-fluid collection Image: InDigital Images

Not only did Burberry show a collection that was shoppable now, but CEO and creative director Christopher Bailey signaled that the fashion house was also paying attention to trends in non-gendered dressing. Inspired by Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando, both men and women appeared on the Burberry's runway wearing silky pajama pieces, ruffled blouses and leather bags. Even the beauty was consistent across sexes: all models wore the same makeup and natural hairstyles.

6. Anya Hindmarch's set Image: InDigital Images

To play up the geometric theme of her Spring 2017 collection, designer Anya Hindmarch created a spacey amphitheater in London's Royal Horticulture Halls. Hovering above the concentric ring steps, an enormous LED light fixture illuminated the models in alternating colors like a descending UFO. The models even gathered beneath the disc, as though preparing for a group abduction. Sixties influences and bright hues further gave the collection a Pierre Cardin Space Age influence.

7. The '80s hair part

Most pronounced at Topshop but present at other shows including Mother of Pearl and, in a less-starched version, J.W.Anderson, the exaggerated '80s part has resurfaced. Consider it a semi-permanent hair-flip, a sassy hirsute salute or a trendy way to disguise dirty hair. No matter, there's no doubt plenty will be reconsidering their part post LFW.

8. Gingham

Gingham was picked up by House of Holland (left), Molly Goddard (right) and Pringle of Scotland this season. Although arguably there's no print that's quite as springy, it's unusual for so many different designers to use one so excessively. Fortunately each house had its unique take on the checks, and none used the cloth orthodoxly.

9. Velvet shoes on the street Images by Kristin Yamada

Whether as flats, booties or sandals, velvet was spotted on the feet of many style stars in London this September. This fall, the fabric will be prevalent in many sartorial forms, but in technicolor hues it makes for statement footwear.

10. J.W.Anderson fangirls

Not that we blame them, but there is a growing crowd of highly fashionable women (Moscow boutique owner Olga Karput (pictured) among them) who turned up throughout LFW wearing many J.W. Anderson's designs-whether from his eponymous line or from LOEWE, the LVMH line for which he serves as creative director. His show was also one of the most well-attended, with high-profie guests like Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, model Alexa Chung and fashion icon Olivia Palermo in the front row. It's possible that at this moment he is the fashion set's most beloved designer.
