Fashion Week

Pt 2. Star Cameos

2nd October 2009

Graeme Armour

Sculptural leather bags by Richard Emden

Leatherworks by Joanna Vanderpuije

Brilliant playfulness by Yang-Du

Classics by Eugene Lin

Jayne Pierson

Genius fold structures by Tour de Force

Rachel Freire

Alice Lee

Leather wonders by Beekay

For me, these are the true delights of London Fashion Week; alternative designers fresh graduating or simply sticking to doing what they love, away from the commercial high road. After the Jasper Garvida fashion show we had a chance to look around the On|Off exhibitions of more designers; by the time I did one round, I felt compelled to do another round, there was so much to digest. The designers were all present (more than half of them CSM graduates), perked on a stool, and when prompted sang of their inspirations and stories behind the collections.

Do check out the websites of these above that have links, some collections are simply mind-blowing. Oh what eyecandy.

THe second to last picture, of the sleeveless top which sort of reminds me of a carpet…I would totally wear that! It’s lovely!

Oh WOW! Seriously, you are making me SO jealous that we don’t have this kind of art where I live. Everything is simply divine and I am dying to go to London just for this event!

Great Post! I will make sure to check out all of the links!

that golden zippered jacket looks a bit like a banana upon closer viewing, but like the true big kid that i am, my favorite might to be those rainbow bright carttonish animal dresses. love.
