It was very hot at the Fashion East presentation. Not just hot because the room was packed full of people to see the latest offerings from Rory Parnell-Mooney, but also because the clothes were hot – red hot in fact. A very welcome new direction. Which wasn’t the only new thing. There was also womenswear too, much to Phoebe and Natalie’s delight. It was all very school uniform. Smart, but with an edge that screamed “don’t fuck with me”. Check shirts with pussybow ties. Flaming hot hoodies with the backs exposed. Blink and you’d miss it. But of course we didn’t miss it because our eyes were glued to the whole collection. So the only other thing we have to say is: where can we place our orders? An apron dress in navy or black for Natalie, check shirt for me, and hoodie in black (or red) for Phoebe. Take our money Rory. Take it now.
