Another spate of graduate showings and yet another spate of stellar offerings. London seems to be on fire with talent this year. Every where you turn it seems theres someone with more talent in their little finger than you could even begin to muster. But then we’re not excactly what you’d call talented, more like trying to get blood out a stone. Even the streetcast models walked like bloody pros. Can you get lessons in walking? And not eating too? It would help with the fitting in the clothes part of the job? Anyway, before we hang ourselves with our own rope of babble, our top five showings.
Rockabilly cyber punks by Angela Brandys. Works best with an inked body. As Blac Velevet once said when we asked where exactly where on her leg she was planning to get a tattoo, ‘all over’.
Classic print safari joy riders by Brett de Jager. Something for La Miles. He’s always had a fondness for Cadbury’s chocolate frogs. Something about the definition. Ribbit!
Strict tailoring with cellophane panelling by Stine Riis. Whip her. Whip your hair. And then wipe down.
The return of the Munsters complete with Spice Girl hi top platforms by Sean McGirr. Who’d have thought Herman and his eyebrows could like Helen of Troy launch ships?
Intricate rainbow hued embroidery by Yeashin Kim. Feminine and tactile. All we want to do is put it on and roll around on the floor screaming toucha toucha toucha touch me! Or if not me, at least feel up my embroidered padded sleeve. We’ll take anything we can get.
