Paul Costelloe presents to us, volume and print for this years autumn/ winter collection.
For his collection, he uses quite neutral colours like shades of browns, greens, greys and a pop of colours like the yellows and pinks. The collection looks like it uses a variety of fabrics like tweed perhaps with the blazers and skirts and perhaps some silks and suedes.
The model is winter ready with her boots, leather gloves and a leather handbag. The colour of the blazer really reminds you of the autumnal season where leaves are turning brown. The blazer is paired with a gathered skirt with layers and layers of fabrics. I quite like the harshness of the material and look with the contrasting softness of the skirt and its movement.
The menswear outfits were quite fitted with some long coats and slim fitting trousers with the same print on both garments paired with scarved and some with gloves and without. The print works really well without overwhelming the whole look, it’s nicely paired with what looks like a silk scarf.
Overall the presentation was amazing with the atmosphere and the garments, it was nice to see a differentiation of colour to what you would think the seasonal colours would be.
EUDON CHOI showcases his collection Porth La for Autumn/Winter 2018.
EUDON CHOI looks to the Cornish harbor town of St Ives, (Porth la in Cornish) taking inspiration from a collection of modernist artists who settled there post World War I. He translates the relationship between artist; Christopher Wood, Ben Nicholson and Alfred Wallis, and how rugged their environment was to create a collection that pays homage to St Ives as a muse to so many artists and a place of artistic pilgrimage. He celebrates the abstract art and Cornish light as well as paying homage to the brave fishermen who worked the harsh sea and the tin and copper miner, who were once such an important part of the Cornish way of life.
This season EUDON CHOI teams up with renowned milliner Noel Stewart to create a modern take on a sou’wester inspired by the commercial fishing trade that is waterproof and luxurious. The pair shares a passion for using traditional techniques, modernity, and craftsmanship, creating the subtly extraordinary.
I love the fabrication on the coats as well as their shapes. Some of the coats were buttoned up or tied up or opened. The fabrication on these was gorgeous as well as the color choice. I was quite drawn to the accessories from the hats to the bags, some were small handbags others were quite big with a strap to the side of the bag instead of the top.
Emilio De La Morena amazes us with his collection which was showcased on the 20th February at Strand.
For his autumn/winter 2018 collection, Emilio De La Morena drew his inspiration from Barbra Streisand’s 1983 Musical, Yentl, and applied its gender queer philosophy to his Iberian aesthetic.
Yentl remains radical for its challenges to patriarchy, whether in its conservative early twentieth century Ashkenazi society setting or here and now. Its spirit of defiance ad its visual codes informs the collection’s austere palette and masculine Tailoring. Fashion may not change the world but Yentl reminds us that aesthetics matter.
The color palette for this show was mainly monochrome with quite a few vibrant colors like Fuschia and Teal. I love the contrast between the tailored look and the ruffles. It creates movement in the garments. There were beading details that moved around as the model walked the runway which showed movement but in contrast to the softness of the ruffles this was harder and moved around more which is a nice contrast.
Teatum Jones had a show on February 20th presenting us their collection named Global Womanhood.
AW18 is inspired by a collective of 25 unique women who embody the Teatum Jones
spirit – bold, confident, creative and smart – including women such as models Munroe
Bergdorf, Kelly Knox, singer Foxes, editor Sophia Neophitou and activist Caryn Franklin.
By asking these women from different social backgrounds, different ages and different
ethnicities three questions about their most instinctive human emotions, Teatum Jones
have taken us on a journey through their moments of intense joy, sadness and hope.
These intimate and sometimes raw conversations have been recorded in a film which was premiered throughout the AW18 catwalk show.
1 of 3
“The AW18 collection is presented in three chapters based on these three instinctive emotions. The unity of these shared emotions is tied together in a series of floral and geometric prints and jacquards that sit within a colour palette representing each of the emotive themes”
Intense joy manifests in a palette of explosive red and burgundy tones, passionate pinks and crisp cornflour blue. Neon pink florals are flocked onto vibrant red organza in pleated asymmetric hemlines and gathered sleeves. Fluid two-tone super wide pantsuits sit alongside two-tone chunky British knits and voluminous magenta silk satins.
Intense sadness reveals itself in a palette of deep midnight navy, intense royal blue and
fresh winter ivory. An almost black-navy is woven as textural fil-coupe and panelled with
pleated silk satins. Oversized graphic florals are flocked to tonal navy organzas in pleated skirts, dresses and over-dyed silk satins. Draped tops are layered beneath signature large-scale geometric jacquards woven with chunky woollen yarns.
Hope is brought together in a simple fresh palette of white, ivory and cream. Injected with bright mustard, soaring reds and a rich bordeaux. Hand-painted florals printed onto jacquard silks are gathered into exaggerated draped sleeves in dresses, tops and reimagined Teatum Jones shirt dresses.
I loved the show it was nice to see the videos and then the garments come out for the catwalk. The music really tied in with the themes of intense joy, intense sadness and hope. The silhouette and fabrics were amazing. There was so much movement in the garments itself but I loved the mixture of garments with different fabrics like the knit top and an organza skirt.
Toogood presented their Autumn and Winter 2018 collection on Friday 16th in Shoreditch, London.
Toogood came out with their presentation Collection 009. Their inspiration for the collection was Organic Abstraction. Exploring Terrain. British Geological Index. Assemblages and reliefs. Biomorphic shapes. Their colour palette was almost like earthy tones or quite natural colours like the browns and the yellows along with the red and black tones. The neutral-toned rooms made all the outfits stand out and really enhances the shape of the garments.
It was great to see a variety of models that differ in age, sex and race. It’s nice to see that the collection can cater to almost everyone. I love the shapes of the jackets and the oversized look it had. It was lovely to see a variety of fabrics and techniques they used. Overall it was a great presentation to see and enjoy.
This week’s read of the week goes to Friend Request by Laura Marshall.
Marshall’s ‘Friend Request’ has become the #1 seller on Amazon’s Contemporary Fiction list. With a great story that intrigues you from the start and tremendous reviews, it is no surprise that it made it onto our read of the week list.
“When Louise Williams receives a message from someone left long in the past, her heart nearly stops.
Maria Weston wants to be friends on Facebook.
Maria Weston has been missing for over twenty-five years. She was last seen the night of a school leavers’ party, and the world believes her to be dead. Particularly Louise, who has lived her adult life with a terrible secret.
As Maria’s messages start to escalate, Louise forces herself to reconnect with the old friends she once tried so hard to impress. Trying to piece together exactly what happened that night, she soon discovers there’s much she didn’t know. The only certainty is that Maria Weston disappeared that night, never to be heard from again – until now. . .”
Classically trained and well-rounded Katherine Redlus presents us with ‘Kingdom Come’
As part of her first album, the wonderful and simply authentic Katherine Redlus gives ‘Kingdom Come’, a mysterious song that delves into the soundscapes of the harp with a smooth and rather warming vocal that keeps you whole with the energy that surrounds it.
