ALternative Fashion Week, continuation...

And another batch of photos from Alternative Fashion Week at Spitalfields Traders Market.
Ostensibly innovative designers have exhibited their works for the general public but whether they really were that innovative and original in their work is for you to decide.

Being too busy locating my viewfinder I have completely missed out on the names of designers. Feeling guilty of professional negligence and desperately seeking for your approval at least for taking the photos.

The so-called sustainable collection. The garments compiled of recycled mens suits, shirts and cravats. C'mon, just strip them off completely, first their love, then their money, now their clothes...
The skirt is the favourite. When in motion, the heavy fabrics gives it a fabulous fluidy look.

A definite approve from Baranovska. The sweet sherbet, been left outside and got washed out by  the rain. The cut is rather simple and too compromising with the customer, but looking very pretty.
Worth of going onto TopShop shelves. xx

Hello Malcolm X, I thing you forgot to change for the showcase.

Something every girl's done when learning how to sew. Been there, done that, next please.

Loved the idea, but there's something unfinished about it. If it is a vest with fringe it needs to look like one ...And likewise if it is an accessory. There's a good rhythm and dynamics in these garments (middle picture) but no substance and presentation is "flaggy". 
A good judgement is to sometimes imagine yourself walking into a corner shop and thinking whether shop assistant's would exclaim "Aaah a goddess" ...or   "Ooooh, a pot of noodles"...so there you go.

Oh, you need to wear the clothes too, if you decide to experiment with the shop.

When I saw the first model I thought of our poor pensioners in Eastern Europe, having their little money slashed from the scheme and now earning their bread by crocheting and knitting. Is it an appeal to revive some oldschool non-fashionable accessorizing? Not convinced. 
Pretty hats though. You get lots of them in Latvia on the central market.

Couldn't get my eyes of them, couldn't believe what I was seeing. A whole vanguard of International  call girls. 
Latvia, Russia (definitely under-aged), Spain



Afrika, Ukraine, ....whatever...some country with blue parrots.......
How much?

Tribal variations exhibited beautiful batik and skilfully mastered draperies. Missing a bit on innovation.

Im sure I saw them in my children's bible. There were definitely some sheep and zebras grazing around.

Sweetheart devil or seducer the priest

Music rocked the stage and the lights turned crimson filling the room with sensual exhilaration. Even the fellow photo crews  sighed simultaneously, vaguely shifting in their cramped 'nests' (I guess due to another hustle with the change of lighting more than anything else).

Superciliously smirking, boys walked out in impudently perfect  suits in black and grey charcoal colours. The sternness of this collection emphasized the impeccable quality of cut and celebrated a male silhouette.

Ambrosially fitting suits undoubtedly resembled of Russian clergymen cassocks.
Check out this HOT lineup:
Despite of the apparent source of the idea, the application of new add-ons, the exquisite textiles and the sly interpolation of details has a direct reference to current fashion  instantaneously makes the garments to stand out.
Here is an example of typical Russian deacon's cassock:
The rigid elbow-high gloves (is this rubber?) definitely did the trick of titivating the once old-school look, so did the extended
pants artfully escaping into under the mini shorts. Tight.....man.

We nominated the vanquisher of the show the suit with the skirt, knee-high socks and the deacon hat (the first picture in the header); for its emotional voluptuousness, daring provocation and the exquisite quality. The wearability and ingenuity without succumbing into absurd was particularly pleasing.

Remembered that "God is in the details" from Ludwig Miles van der Rohe, but seriously doubting now whether it is God at all....

Dreaming of guys wearing skirts. Any thoughts on this?
