London: Richard Quinn, The Rising Star of British Design, on Saturday London Fashion Week, who played the glamor card with a lush, flower -filled show.
Quinn graduated from the prestigious Central Saint Martins van London four years ago and was quickly recognized for his daring and originality and big names such as Amal Clooney have carried his work.
There were rich colors, dresses with trains, flowers, crystals and feathers in abundance on the show at an Art Deco location near Westminster in Central London.
Earlier in the day, various aspects of femininity relieved the London Fashion Week, from the chic Petar Petrov to the playful colors of Molly Goddard and the unabashed glamor of Halpern.
In the meantime, they paraded Rebellie-demonstrators in stimuli wire stimuli.
Dozens of protesters blocked the road near the main building for the organization of the catwalk shows, which started on Friday and continued until Tuesday.
“We started blocking the road, four people wore barbed wire dresses and confirmed to the ground,” spokeswoman Sara Arnold, 33, told AFP.
“The system is based on aging, exploitation and overproduction. This influences the planet, the people, the animals. It needs systemic change.”
It is not the first time that “XR” activists focused on the fashion week, who covered themselves in fake blood and bound at the entrance during the September event.
The movement sent a letter to the industrial lobby group British Fashion Council on Monday with the request to cancel the London fashion week in September.
Aware of the accusations, the industry is this week that presents its efforts in an exhibition dedicated to “positive fashion”.
– torches and thin belts –
Many designers who are concerned about the impact of fashion on the environment choose to use renewable or recycled materials and to support local craftsmanship.
But environmental activists believe that this is not sufficient and that urgent action is needed.
The protest took place on the second day of Fashion Week, in which the first London show by Petar Petrov was seen, who presented the autumn/winter 2020/21 collection of his wives.
The designer, whose brand has just celebrated his tenth birthday, has unveiled the elegant and sober collection in the vicinity of the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba), the head office near Regent’s Park.
The collection was characterized by extra long -wide sleeves and wide pants suits that are held in place by thin belts.
Versatility was the key, worn with jackets as dresses and scarf neck and draped jackets that can be bound in different ways.
– ‘gray up without elegance’ – –
“I grew up without elegance, I grew up in a socialist city and everyone had the same thing,” said the designer, who grew up in Bulgaria and the Ukraine with his tailor’s mother.
He inherited her love of fabrics, an inheritance that is central to the ethos of the company.
Molly Goddard, on the other hand, brought bright colors and pleasure to the catwalk, with candy pink tulle dresses and fringes.
The 31-year-old Brit said she was inspired by her childhood and visited London’s vintage markets.
“It was a kind of starting point for my collection, my childhood near Portobello Market, it was such a nice area,” she said after the show and explained that as a child she mainly dressed to go to the BRIC-A-Brac stalls.
Their spirit is reflected in her mix of styles, with dresses and petticoats worn with mohair -sweaters in an explosive palette of Canary Geel, Royal Blue, Pink, Red and Fuchsia, the favorite color of the designer.
– The Glamor King –
Fuchsia and electric blue substances that were showered in sequins were the shimmering themes for Michael Halpern, a London -based New Yorker called the “King of New Glamor”.
The London supply of Halpern, who worked at Oscar de la Renta and Versace before launching his collection of the same name, contained short, busty dresses decorated with gigantic arches, or wide -ranging pants with multicolored sequins, which resulted in a general theme of undoubtedly female glamor.
Less spectacular, but perhaps more portable, was the collection of the South Korean designer Rejina Pyo.
PYO worked with wide shoulder designs and asymmetrical lines and went black, beige and brown for autumn colors, and used just enough blue and green to lift the overall mood of the collection.
