London Fashion Week - Day 5Few collections on this last day of London Fashion Week, but the overall level is not lower than the past few days. Rock'n'roll met feminine sweetness in Ashley Williams’s collection (photo 1): leather was topped by shocking pink pullovers or soft furs, and patches applied to total black dresses and jackets gave an ironic reading of the figure of the rockstar. Irony wasn’t missing in Anya Hindmarch’s collection (photo 2). The designer took street signs and introduced them into her clothes. Vibrant prints matched loose-fitting jumpsuits paired with high stiletto boots which elongated the figure.I’m realising I love denim manipulation. For this reason I couldn’t help loving the collection by Marques'Almeida (photo 3), where clothes really looked like they were ‘lived-in’. Fabric was the protagonist, but not only denim: there was jersey in grass green and orange, leather in metallic shades, chiffon, brocade. Everything was manipulated, torn, cut, patched, restitched in baggy slightly decadent shapes.Outerwear is THE thing for Christopher Raeburn (photo 4), and the forms he chooses are definitely countless: capes with pockets and edges in contrasting colours, quilted orange windbreakers, jackets with colour blocking lapels. And these materials are also translated into other pieces of clothing as well - the quilted orange duvet for skirts as an example. Ryan Lo (photo 5) proposed lady-like ensembles with round white lace skirts and warm brightly coloured pullovers, bows, little nice headpieces in a bon ton atmosphere. Let’s close this fashion week with a surprisingly interesting collection by Saloni (photo 6). Fabrics and prints were the most striking thing in a collection where shapes and proportions were pretty classic after all: there were many gowns in a bohemian mood, sleeveless little dresses, beautifully cut cropped trousers. The showstopper was the print giving the impression of blurred colours, which was one of the most graphic examples I’ve seen so far; as materials you have feathers giving a little edge to a black top, or coats made of furry fringes.xxx -- source link
