With London fashion week now in full swing there’s plenty to talk about. Here’s the best of the weekend’s British crop...Chloe Sevingny’s collection was brimming with school day glamour. Preppy style at it’s understated best. Re-worked street style that reflected a high level of intelligence, a sort of scruffy neat. Stripes of colour met muted cottons and still knits. A collection of dual personality, at first glance it’s super cool laid back menswear, but, Sevingny offers the whole offering in scale downed women’s sizes too.
Kinder Aggugini produced an endearing Winter 09 offering. A mature, sophisticated, at times beautifully unpredictable presentation of tailoring. Fluid, feminine florals kept under control with structured jackets and sheer dresses styled with aged, knee high leather boots. Highlights of poppy red met subtle lavenders and autumn shades. Aggugini’s early fascination with the punk era echoed throughout.
My favourite? Design duo Sinha-Stantic, see picture. Graphic prints and blurred, sheer fabrics were worked perfectly into pleats, tucks and folds. Explosions of fuzzy feathers and chunky, bobbled knits clinged to slinky printed lights. Sinha-Stantic presented us with a rock chic persona that has moved with the times, a softer, prettier mood with just a hint of cocky, self assured attitude.
Watch this space for London's latest and a Winter 09 trend walk through...
