No excuse for not publishing this on time but feeling there is what to say and what to look at I eventually got myself together just to spit it out on you.
This year's London's annual GFW left me astounded with the students' endless imagination, innovation and energy to churn out so many new ideas and designs. Never tired to implement the latest technologies, daring to concoct clashing fabrics as well as to challenge the dogmas of the past.
Just look at these prints and knits and you'll see what I mean...
The mackintosh in the middle, I've been contemplating it for a while, wondering if I've seen it last year at the same event. But once I got closer and looked- it was a print of mackintosh on a mackintosh- and how clever. So all the gizmo bits on the collar and sleeves are just prints and the mack itself is much more humble than it looks. But guess what a tiny and slim little bird you'd look in it if the silhouette is a print too! Disguise, disguise!
I admit, that it wasn't the best of the outfits making me think the top looked more like a little vest in a third generation of some poor Eskimos in Siberia, I still liked the skirt very much.
Many collections contained elements of very fine prints in very clever applications, which seems to be appropriate since digital prints are getting more and more popular.
On one of the rival blogs I saw some supper leggings with a digital print of a meadow in dawn...unusual, and bewildering..but haven't yet made up my mind about them-prints.
Here I guess we get an impressionists skirt in style of Mary Katrantzou. Lovely :)
One for myself too.
Lauren Moore had some awesome rock chick accessories, despite looking very modest and demure herself; she showed me to her stand, and, believe me, this bag is the least scandalous of them all. I thought the next thing she would get a whip out and would chastise me right there.
But it is an awesomely daring bag as well as all the others and I've got Lauren's email, so for those who's interested feel free to enquire me for the one - I am sure she would be delighted to cast a couple of hardcore punishments.
Boys- one of them just had some shit happened. Eat more rice darling.
Do you also think the author is from Brazil? What's that thing about the yellow and green ? no wonder he's got problems with stool.
Interesting print but I'am cringing with blasphemy. Must be personal.
I loved the sketch. She reminded of myself so I decided to marry her and to take her with me.
Men's apparel is always great. Sometimes I think it is hard to cook it bad.
A bit of medieval fluff. Loved the immaculate details and colour palette and the use of metallic on the skirt.
There was also a photoshoot too but I don't know what all the fuss was about.
May be one model was saying to another:
"Oh I spent last night with Mr X.....his X is this big "
"Oh..hehehe"
