London Fashion Week

Giles, Erdem and Danielle Scutt, these three designers, who presented their new collections these past days during London Fashion Week, all looked back at where they came from. Focusing on individuality, creativity and the valuable lessons of their education. "I just thought I wanted to go back to what got me into fashion in the first place. I graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1992 and I wanted to recapture all of the fun we had playing with things in those days. So the collection is a revisiting of all the things of my own that I've liked and hopefully an improvement on them." Giles said. His models were a mixture of former fashion heroines (the model opening the show was eighties supermodel Rachel Williams) and street cast locals from Camden. An overall look that played with the cliches of runway behaviour. The attentive viewers recognized the circular leather skirt which came from his graduation collection. So who said that fashion is all about the future?

Danielle Scutt also looked back at her graduation from Central Saint Martins: "Because I could only do a small show, I started remembering everything you have to do to stand out when you're graduating from Saint Martins: Make the strongest statement you can in a few outfits." Her collection however reminded of Thierry Mugler which caused an unintended eighties feel.

Erdem Moralioglu took focus on individual creativity. Not necessarily in the silhouette, but in the beautiful floral printings, especially in the use of them. Wether they were following the shape of the clothes or visual creating a new one, mixing them all together or sometimes only a subtle trace the printing certainly contributed to the feminine look of the collection.
