London Fashion week was all about color and prints this season. A lot of them showed an ethnic inspiration. The collage trend was caried on in bright clothes consisting of pieces of different fabrics.
Soft vs Hard
Soft vs Hard
Acne, F/W 2012, London |
Collage Genius
Basso & Brooke, F/W 2012, London |
Chrisopher Brooke and Bruno Basso profit from a unique collaboration. Brazilian Basso is responsible for the amazing prints and British Brooke designs the silhouettes. According to the duo, the prints were based on paintings by French impressionist Matisse, but to me they remind me of the surrealism of Magritte.
Double the trouble
Felder Felder, F/W 2012, London |
This season, Daniela and Anette Felder have distanced themselfs from their rock estehetic. Never has there been a more earthy and soft Felder Felder collection.
Graphic Punk
Louise Gray, F/W 2012, London |
More bold prints in Louise Gray's Fall/Winter collection. Ethnic influences go hand in hand with punk elements. There are also some references to cubism.
New Serenity
Dion Lee, F/W 2012, London |
The most exciting London debut this season came from an Australian designer. Dion Lee is a master in construction and usage of fabrics. These are often hi-tech like the light-reflecting textile he uses for his dresses. One to watch this Aussie!
Next in line: Milan!
