London College of Fashion, BA show
23:18The first Online screening of an LCF Fashion Show happened today at seven o'clock. I myself am undecided about the online screening of Fashion Shows, you don't get to see the real textures and how it properly moves and flows, though then it's giving a better promotion the students in this case and college.
The Show was bright, bold, and beautiful, at the moment there is no online running order, which should be available for update here tomorrow.
Two designers who stood out to me were Jess Sayers and Ryo Himuro, both completely contrasting to each other.
Jess Sayers amazing embellishment of different sequins, building up a glam textured look. Fabrics used to her advantage, chiffons and silks used, swishing creating an emphasis on the sequins, which created sophistication with the midnight colours used. Beautiful.
Where as Ryo Himuro’s collection was completely opposite; playful, fun and bright. Candy pinks, and florescent contrasting colours used, though toned down with the nude colour palette, to add an edge to it. Including great pattern cutting, and many soft shapes, used to emphasise the embellishment, for example puffballs and a stuffed fabric heart. Fun and sophisticated (evident through the brogues).

the contrasting textures is something to stop and ponder. i am making a knit dress with polka dots. maybe i should splice in some other colored knits. i am such a purist. it is hard for me to splinter out. but i need to. you make me want to be crazy and do it!
