PETER PILOTTO SS15

Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos graduated from print to craft for their SS15 collection, and we’re not quite sure how we feel about it. One of the things this brand is famous for it it’s eye catching “love at first sight” prints; the Peter Pilotto SS15 collection features cyber florals with coils and fans of guipure lace, technical macrame, and custom dandelion jacquards with sparkling tinsel.

There was a lot of embellishment and appliqué on the runway; iridescent organza, silk leaves and windowpane checks floated over the skin, whilst grids of florals blossom on black denim. The silhouette moved between a trim bodice, to ultra slim trousers to planed shifts, some with airy volumes explored as a handkerchief hem and the neat folds of an A-line skirt.

Some of the pieces we adored, such as the tiered jackets both long sleeved and sleeveless; the tattoo like pencil skirt with asymmetric spilt; an the sandals, give us ALL of the sandals! Whilst other pieces, not so much…maybe it’s a grower.

What are your thoughts on the collection?

LONDON FASHION WEEK SS15: ASHISH SS15

The King of sequins has absolutely smashed it out the park for London Fashion Week SS15; not only with his Spring Summer collection, but with his selection of models, as well as showing at the Topshop Showspace!

Track pants, sweatshirts, jeans, and bomber jackets were given the Ashish blast of sparkle. Slouchy, sporty, and urban was the vibe, with one of our fave prints, snakeskin, making a big appearance; rainbow striped and pastel gingham was a huge look; and of course ripped sequin denim. Kimye made an appearance at the show as well as Miley Cyrus, no not front row, but emblazoned across sweatshirts!

This morning Vodafone UK held a breakfast to announce an exclusive two-season partnership with pioneering designer, Mary Katrantzou. The British cellphone network and LFW sponsor will work with the British Fashion Awards Emerging Talent Award winner – Katrantzou, famous for her distinctive silhouettes and use of colour and digital print, across Spring/Summer ’13 and Autumn/Winter ’13. The collaboration will offer Vodafone customers access to her innovative catwalk show as well as the chance to meet her backstage at London Fashion Week.

Kicking off in September 2012, when London becomes the fashion capital of the world, the partnership underlines Vodafone’s commitment to its customers and support for British fashion following on from previous partnerships with acclaimed LFW designers, Richard Nicoll and Christopher Kane.

Danielle Crook, Vodafone’s UK Director of Brand Marketing, said today: “Mary Katrantzou is one of the most exciting designers in British fashion today – she was a natural fit to help us continue our involvement in fashion. Her bold graphics and iconic designs have attracted a cult following from every part of the fashion world and we are thrilled to be working with her. For us, this means we can give our customers a unique fashion experience at Mary’s catwalk show during London Fashion Week.”

Mary Katrantzou said: “I am excited to be working with Vodafone, as a brand they have really cemented their credibility and support within the fashion industry over the past few seasons. Their innovation elements really appeal to me and it felt a natural fit to join forces. I’m really looking forward to be able to widen the fashion net to their customers and bring them to the front line of fashion week.”

The partnership will kick off with Mary Katrantzou’s Spring/Summer ’13 show, sponsored by Vodafone which will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated events on the schedule.
