Kamola Shows the Ladies How It’s Done AW10

Miss Alexandra — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:29:43 +0000

Kamola’s designs graced the AW10 Fashion Mavericks London Fashion Week show with sleek lines and romantic, feminine shapes. Inspired by Film Noir and pre-19th Century art movements, Kamola’s collection gave us a serious dose of Femme Fatale.
The jewel toned palettes complemented by the fitted shapes in opulent ‘second-skin’ fabrics and detailed necklines with clever touches such as a high-neck one-shoulder sheer lace gown (left) showed us a new, daring twist to formal dressing.
Ruffled shoulders and velvet cocktail dresses accessorised with long gloves and pulled-back chignons were other looks that emphasised the lady-like chic that has been spotted across various runways this season; and we’re so glad it’s back.

Saffron Knight Sizzles on the Runway (AW10 Collection)

Miss Alexandra — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:24:05 +0000

The Body is well and truly here to stay – and I was delighted to see that London designers continue to get bolder by the season.
Designer Saffron Knight (SaffronKnight.me.uk) kick-started the London Fashion Week Fashion Mavericks AW10 show with a bang, showcasing her ‘Princesses of the Knight’ collection – transporting us to the dark side where the models looking eerily and fantastically identical in sleek flame red bobs and thick brows.
Favourite pieces included the bronze and navy fitted kimono tops with sumptuous satin draping and velvet bodies (left) and bustiers with print detail reminiscent of Narcisco Rodriguez and Versace in the early 90s. Other key looks with embellished necklines, burnt orange accents and cheeky cut-out backs saw Saffron Knight set the bar high and the runway alight.

London Fashion Week Prophetik showcase Jeff Garner

Monica Cummings BA Hons MA — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:00:12 +0000

Dynamic, authentic must haves ! Vauxhall fashion scout put on a great fashion week with some of the finest potential designers to date. It all kicked off for me with the Prophetik showcase on Friday 19. I was ushered into Freemason’s hall, did a quick interview with the allwalks.org representatives about the new shift and mood in fashion for more authenticity in modelling.
En suite – I plonked myself on a front row seat just as the showcase was about to begin. Designer Jeff Garner dazzled us with Southern US inspired designs.
(1)This versatile long, black dress is absolutely luscious using recyled silk and peace silk lining. The gatherings and shape make good for a winter evening ball. Imagine the mood you’ll create when you turn up for an annual work ball ? Innocent, Southern and slightly Goth….

(2) This off the shoulder teal number with exaggerated jodhpurs and BOOTS was a pleasant surprise !! Boots were a recurrent theme throughout the showcase. The vintage leathers were shipped in from Judy’s tack shop in Franklin, Tennessee and some of the black ones were obtained from a local shop in Portobello Road. Vintage boots, jodhpurs and a nice cropped, military jacket gets direct influences from the American Civil war and can be sported for an upbeat, Autumn trend.

3)This black peace silk T-shirt dress with grey peace silk shash gives a real bounce to a sexy silhouette. The main aspect to this outfit is of course the vintage boots. Coarse, worn out leather pieces are a great contrast to a feminine but, simple dress.

(4) Wow…I love this ! This black peace silk boyfriend jacket with grey jersey dress and grey peace silk necktie is a unique dimension taking us on a mesmerizing journey through Nashville.

(4)This black herringbone jacket, lined with peace silk, a black organic jersey button shirt, blue hemp waistcoat and black hemp trousers is divinely masculine, military, country and layered.

(5) Save the best until last…this red, recycled velvet bustier brightened up the room. The romantic, beautiful flowing line and bold colour is a sumptuous garment bringing out the elegance of femininity.

To sum up…. Jeff Garner’s use of pigment, dyed fabrics meet Global organic textile standards, his collection is soft, layered, practical and innovative. His use of hemp softens the shapes further. The collection is a reflection of his roots and desire for sustainability and simplicity, a sign of our times.
