Incredible beautiful, simple, elegant- such a wonderful collection. Very well put together and thought out. Wonderful colouring and very well cut tailoring. Outstanding collection.

What really struck me with this collection was the colours. The base colour of grey runs through the collection wonderfully, the orange is a great high light colour, the aqua ‘ chalky blue mixed with the black and the deep blue just works so well. The styling is a great mix of sportswear and utility. The print use and placement has been thought out well. Wonderful work.

Beautifully relaxed tailoring – long line length shown throughout – simple colouring – interesting detail and use of badges. Understated and refined.

This really is a beautiful collection. Very diverse in it’s inspiration – African Jewellery, paisley print, tie dye and sportswear mixed with lovely tailoring. Visually stunning. Lots of great ideas that I will be exploring in my own wardrobe. A real MUST SEE

A beautiful and well worked collection – loving the cropped length suits and boxy tee – I adore summer knitwear and this collection doesn’t let me down from the fine knit vest to the open weave knitted three quarter sleeve tee….

A really lovely collection, for me what stands out is the use of interesting fabrics – especially the use of the nylon anorak fabric with prints.

Really lovely and relaxed collection – soft textured, earthy colours mixed with sharpe tailoring. Ok so I’ve not mentioned the T bar shoes… At first I hated them but the more I see of them the more I’m starting to like them and I think they could be an interesting addition to my summer wardrobe.

Really impressive collection, really great use of colour and print. Loving the cropped length on the sweatshirts and the jackets. Beautifully tailored suits, worn casual with tees. Very beautiful work.

As a designer I’ve always looked at the catwalk shows to help me understand and pin point trend, direction and colour….. These days it’s true to say that the shows have become shall we say diluted in the eyes of the public as fashion is now dictated through the world of celebrity (a theme I will explore in detail at at later date). None the less if we look at each show individually we can spot little design cues that can be translated into the high street. The high street whether you like it or not has a bottom line and that is profit. A dirty word to some. No one knows which design cues will make it on to the high street and indeed which ones will be the big selling lines so it’s important to spot these design cues and take from them what you will.
I’ve gone through the latest fashion shows individually and I’ve noted what I see as design cues that done correctly and well, would easily be translated onto the high street. Please feel free to comment, I may not see what you see and I’m always willing to learn….
