Here are four innovative
designers who have launched their labels in London. My team and I looked at
their current Spring Summer 2013
collections and selected the pieces we felt best represented the individual DNA
of each brand. We wanted to inject some sex appeal and street cred, styling the
clothes to reflect the style of Beyonce the 'Queen of Cool'.
Mary me - Jimmy
Paul
The collection called
‘Riviera’ takes inspiration from a cacophony of retro styles and influences.
The look is a boundary-pushing wonderland of fashion wizardry; the effect is a
riot of bright patterns and bold textures.
The inspiration is a
combination of contemporary divas and the Grey Gardens concept of what is
insane or fashion forward.
Roberto Piqueras
This is Roberto
Piquera’s 11th Collection. He pays homage to the rich and varied
graphic plumage adorning the inner city Chavs and Youth culture tribes found in
his ‘manor’ of East London. Roberto Piquera’s signature style is androgenous
and unisex in nature. As a result this collection works well on and off the
hanger!
RXTR
Taio Cruz is an British
born aspirational Jay Z. Principally a music producer and successful song
writer rapper Taio Cruz is also interested in style and fashion. This versatile
collection is for both men and women. A simple design
philosophy of comfort and cool style in easy to wear monochrome this collection
can be found to order on
Fam Irvoll
Fam Irvoll is Norwegian
and gained an MA from St Martins in 2008.
Her signature style is
based on 3D elements, Cartoon references and a bold use of colour.
For her Spring Summer 13
collection presented at London Fashion Week Fam took the vintage homage trend
‘Granny chic’ and developed it into a very wearable quirky collection. Clashing
narrative coordinates of cardigans, little skirts, big baggy jumpers make this
a very covetable collection.
