Fashion East hits London Fashion Week like a storm with three very unique looks all made to perfection.
First to hit the runway was the romantic look with pastel blues and whites with the occasional pink floral print. Silk shirts and pretty plaits suggests femininity but when combined with a blazer it creates mystery and confusion with the contradiction of the masculine structure.
Next up was the return of the 80’s grunge with mucky shades of green and black. The model’s hair were put in a centre parting and made to look wet and greasy. Trousers were ripped, tops were backless and trainers were teamed with socks making the homeless look fashionable.
The show ended on a glamorous note with shimmery pink trousers, fluffy up-dos, fur, leather and knits – it appears that casual is now clean and glam.
Fashion East is a non-profit initiative established by the Old Truman Brewery in 2000 to help emerging young designers through the difficult early stages of their career, receiving sponsorship funding from Topshop, TOPMANand The London Development Agency.
Three womenswear and three menswear designers each year get the chance to present a catwalk collection to international press and buyers at London Fashion Week.
Previous successes include Richard Nicholl, Holly Fulton, Jonathan Saunders, House of Holland, Gareth Pugh, Marios Schwab, Louise Goldin, Roksanda Ilincic and Meadham Kirchhoff.
