London Fashion Week - Swedish school of Textiles Clara Walton Reports



Clara Walton reports for © fashiontent















The Swedish School of Textiles

An exhilarating combination of diversity from each graduate’s view of their fashion careers. 15 shows, 7 outfits and each designer given a chance to show off their identity in fashion within each piece. Highlighted shows that particularly caught my eye, started with the work from Matlida Forssblad and her ‘Future Fashion Epic Beauty’ collection. The start of her collection began with a model weaving through a fabric white background, which then amazingly turned into a dress, to which the model proceeded to walk down the catwalk fully attired! Matilda’s use of the natural fall of the fabric, gave a new perspective on what clothing can do without over-complicating the design. Her interesting style of connecting the fabric to a models hairstyle or having a model hold the front of the dress in her mouth is extraordinary!


Julia Ragnarsson’s show ‘Who are u wearing?’ gave an added dimension to the ideology of which designer a celebrity is wearing, when on the red carpet, whereas in this collection the celebrity is printed on the clothing. When the collection walked down the catwalk, the clothing is almost an optical illusion, as the prints blend in with the model and begs the questions where the fabric stops and the model begins. The majority of Ragnarsson’s outfits were all loose fitting, and the main feature was the customised print on each piece. A particular piece that was obvious of which celebrity was being portrayed was a print of Angelina Jolie styling a high leg slit in a black dress with red lipstick.

London Fashion Week SS17 APUJAN by Clara Walton for Fashiontent


© Clara Walton for fashiontent










APUJAN - Spring Summer 17


Inspired by ‘An Ancient Summer Nights Dream’ APUJAN’s Spring/Summer 17 collection, showed a beautiful colour palette of blues, grey and black, with the use of plaid and stripes. The collection lends itself to be worn on an every day basis for the duration of summer. A signature piece of APUJAN’s designs was a halter-neck dress with a long flowing patterned skirt, with a hidden front-slit, which gave a dreamy effect due to its movement and use of colouring. APUJAN’s collection is influenced by literature. In this particular collection, the focus is on a dream like state, the use of various knitted techniques and knitted fabric, which wouldn't be expected for summer climate, has been redesigned in a open weave to allow the fabric to breathe, another technique used was small layering, which combined into a bold and casual look for the catwalk. Whilst APUJAN’s collection walked down the catwalk, live music from singer Slow Shudder and DJ Questionmark, added to the surrealness of the designs, and encouraged the story of fantasy, love and dreaming.

London Fashion Week SS16 Ennigaldi Collection

ENNIGALDI
Autumn/ Winter 16 & Spring/ Summer 17 collections

On day three LFW, Ennigaldi showcased their spring/ summer 2017 collection at Brewer Street Car Park, a bustling hub for the weeks events. The work displayed across the showrooms covering the first floor of the space proved to be really fantastic and demonstrated a diverse coverage of talented designers.

Fashion week is relatively new to Ennigaldi, as the luxury accessories brand launched their debut collection for Autumn/ Winter 2016. The sophistication of the brand is echoed throughout each of their designs. Their work is based on the element of craft and draws inspiration from historical figures with a modern twist. The concept of the brand really drew me to their designs, as they named it after the iconic Babylonian princess, ‘Ennigaldi’. The work combines a strong indication to art, structure, architecture and colour, and the subtle reference to history creates the innovative brand. As a result of this, the two collections showcased really does take any of us on a journey through time and educates each of us on cultural style. I really think that this is an identity that will separate the artistic brand away from many others.
