DELPOZO 


INDIGITAL
Josep Font the designer at Delposzo inspiration for spring was that of lightness in all connotations. Soft white to baby pink, pale lilac formed a delicate base for this collection. Crimson and fuchsia with flashes of bright tons of green. Ruffles and appliquéd petals dominated the catwalk as well as bold stripes and checked panels inspired by Bianconi glasswork of wisteria flowers. These unexpected colour combinations looked fresh and sophisticated, seen first with a pink blouse with highly ruffled collar paired with high-waisted trousers, a red cape sleeveless coat and soft blue shirt underneath.


Chalayan 


INDIGITAL
Abstract ideas of happiness and current world affairs were brought into the thought-provoking collection by Hussein Chalayan. He focused on deconstructed tailoring and juxtaposed fabrics and patterns, mapping out different historical events or symbols part of them. These tailored jackets with dropped shoulders with straps to pull them in were paired together with trousers with big structured folds on each side. There was a range of dresses made out of jacquard patterns showing scenes from history. Structured blazers with peplums hems and draped fabrics were next to quilted ones.

SIMONE ROCHA 


INDIGITAL
Simone Rocha brought something rich, delicate and sombre to the runway at Lancaster House, chiffon lace-trimmed veils and prints of paintings of Tang Dynasty with shoes sprouting feathers. The collection exploring the Chinese side of her. Bubble shaped silhouettes created with hand-drawn embroideries and lace shawls. Mysterious atmosphere clinging to the hats and veils, Rocha putting another angle on the religious rituals surrounding births, weddings and funerals. The matters of spirituality and the supernatural are being filtered into fashion much like what we’ve seen in the past when Gucci Resort Show was held in a Roman graveyard, fashion is moving to the morbid side.

NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD


INDIGITAL


Nicholas Kirkwood bringing more diversity to the runway following the new rule for this fashion week: everything goes. For his Spring 2019 collection titled Interference, Kirkwood showcased his latest footwear collection with all-female hackers instead of traditional models. Nicholas’ new shoe styles inspired by tech and cyber-reality, for instance his signature pearl combat boots came covered in graphic tv static-style prints, while a pair of block-heeled sandals was constructed with computer wiring. Ankle boots were fashioned with recalling bolts while sock boots were swathed with duct tape. The majority of the collection were exclusive one-offs created especially for the runway but buy-shortly styles in the line included the combat boots in the spring season floral Perfection Print.


ASHISH 



Ashish’s spring show had both a male and female line-up of summer lovers who were wearing sequinned bikinis, shimmering halter necks, camouflage miniskirts, glimmering low-slung denim jeans and glittering jumpsuits in all colours. Neon complemented the textures of the designers signature sequins and hoodies emblazoned with ‘Send Nudes’ were the perfect 21st century slogans for party-wear. Delicate garments hung flatteringly on the male and female models were ones dying to be worn in a condensation- filled nightclub, the models giving the impression that they are fresh out of a party and straight to the runway. The authentic celebration of joyful individualism and freedom attitude carried through this season.
