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.

E. Tautz- SS17
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.

Topman Design – SS17
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.

Craig Green – SS17
Eyelets and cording – I’ve used these throughout this year in many of the dresses and tops that I’ve designed and worked on and I like the fact that this is now coming through to Menswear. The prints are the most amazing Aztec prints.

Spring / Summer 2017 – what do you see?
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….
