Sarah Buchanan ‘Cat Goddess in Dress’ by Kathryn Corlett.
I’ve already shared with you my first review of the London College of Fashion Ba Hons Graduate Catwalk Show at The Yard in Shoreditch, now here’s the rest of the graduate designers I loved on the night.
Using shimmering strips of cleverly cut metal Sarah Buchanan created her dramatic Empire of the Clouds collection, which was inspired by machines of flight. She collaborated with jeweller Georgina Howling and textile designer Claire Kelly.
Sisters Nikita and Tina Sutradhar go under the moniker , and worked together to produce a stunning collection titled Mundane Things, combining striking graphic elements, 80s garment shapes and an intriguing Scandinavian colour palette. The pair already have extensive business and technical training, a basic stand alone website and received the Fashion Innovation award. Miuniku is definitely a label to watch out for in the future.
Adland Yima Sounga worked with menswear designer Ashley Robinson on a series of neon block coloured garments with rich textural details.
Lucy Seabrook collaborated with Shanna Brent on a tailored unisex range that featured tie detailing.
I absolutely adored a super clever collection by Yunhui An, with trompe l’oeil garments that mimicked other clothes in a Mondrian colour palette. The collection was styled with matching drawn paper bag faces.
Antonia Beard‘s colourful pixelated textile designs were plastered across casual menswear designs by Wei Yu (Adrien) Chen.
Ya-Pei Tseng showed a bunched, tied and pleated collection of cream & grey dresses peppered with mustard yellow highlights, all influenced by Japanese culture.
Riyeka Silburn by Gareth A Hopkins.
Riyeka Silburn‘s duffel coats came with a boxy 80s touch that was heightened by the use of a jewel coloured palette. She collaborated with Jessica Hearnshaw who made boxy bags to match.
Riyeka Silburn by Gareth A Hopkins.
Brogan Toyn‘s models gyrated and strutted down the catwalk, all the better to show off neon bright club wear embellished by Zoe Sterling.
Xinyu Hu by Gareth A Hopkins.
Xinyu Hu‘s relaxed menswear took geometric panels as a starting point for sleek camel and black tailored casual wear.
Edward Curtis closed the show with a stunning collection of dresses inspired by paint splatters. He had carefully constructed an unusual selection of garments using the finest of tailoring techniques.
