Well, according to Lisa Tant’s (Flare Magazine) Tweet this morning, anyway. No further details were given, though there are at least two brands that come to mind.

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Mary Katrantzou presented her very artsy pieces at the last day of London Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2011 Collections (the official last day is actually Wednesday, but only men’s wear is being presented).

With blacks and olives as the dominant shades as well as sparks of green and lavendar here and there, Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, presented with a backdrop of shrubs, certainly looked like it was inspired by the English countryside.

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Anna Sui‘s Fall/Winter 2011 collection says several things, including Woodstock Chic and shimerly shine. From hippie-inspired tunics, peasant blouses, eastern-inspired tops and wide-legged pants modelled by girls with very long, straight hair to dresses with shiny fabric, there were also pops of old world glamour with light, creamy furs. Of course, the bohemian look is not unfamilliar […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Winter whites opened Nanette Lepore‘s Fall/Winter collection with brilliant shine, giving off a cool, yet confortable feel. With soft, flowing fabrics, there was a feeling of a beautiful winter wonderland which was emphasized even on the models’ legs with white tights.
