LONDON FASHION WEEK<br />
A Fashionable Lifestyle Jessica Wilson<br />
I’m taking a break from listening to my incredible, ground-breaking,<br />
amazing, AND free U2 album (thanks Apple!) to inform you,<br />
the 6 people of Waikato University who actually bother reading<br />
my articles, about London Fashion Week.<br />
Meadham Kirchhoff. Rad as fuck. The collection was unmistakably<br />
punk, but also very reminiscent of a fucked up teenage girl with<br />
a stolen childhood (holla). There were “blood” soaked tampons in<br />
the decor and the casting included normal sized models. So edgy.<br />
Someone grab a sander, I don’t want anyone getting cut on Meadham<br />
Kirchhoff’s edges.<br />
House of Holland. Style.com said the collection was too literal, however<br />
I disagree. The collection was satirising clichè collections being<br />
inspired by 20-century time periods. If you look closely, you will notice<br />
how poorly designed and referenced the outfits are. It’s a joke guys.<br />
It has to be. Please be a joke.<br />
Christopher Kane. Kane was more lux than usual, there were no<br />
plastic buckles, patched jeans or fluoro colours. Breasts (or lack<br />
thereof) were a focal point in Kane’s Spring 2015 collection. Exposed<br />
breasts, dresses structured around breasts, and nipples. Lots of<br />
nipples. Speaking of nipples, I’m predicting nipple prints to be a big<br />
thing next season, you can bet on that.<br />
Topshop Unique. “The faded glamour of the British seaside” was<br />
the chosen theme for Topshop Unique’s Spring 2015 collection. The<br />
outfits were cute, but about as inspiring as a dream-catcher tattoo.<br />
Mary Katrantzou. The collection was inspired by our Earth 200 million<br />
years ago. Katrantzou looked to the great ocean of Panthalassa<br />
and the massive continent Pangaea, becoming inspired by both the<br />
environment and the life forms inhabiting it. Not sure if that’s pretentious<br />
or awesome.<br />
Marchesa. Fashion critics said all this stuff about Marchesa being<br />
inspired by fairy tales and English gardens, but to be honest, I’m<br />
pretty sure the collection was inspired by shower poufs. If you’re a<br />
fashion critic, please reference me for this.<br />
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. The theme was stripes. Okay.<br />
Jonathan Saunders. Saunders took inspiration from Japanese prints<br />
and fabrics, menswear, and Matisse, to create a collection that was<br />
simultaneously delicate and feminine, as well as being structured<br />
and hinting at ideas of masculinity. I too like to hint at the idea of<br />
masculinity by not shaving for weeks on end.<br />
