Aquascutum relied on the most retro ceramic tones of colour blocking to attempt to sway us, a brand so synonymous with colour, sadly failed to deliver a beautiful bouquet of originality, as previously seen through so many seamless seasons of late. I also fear, from the Sesame Street style Muppet hues of long-haired fur gloves accessorising almost every outfit, that we are moving back wards with regards to our vulgar use of fur on the Catwalks.While Paul Smith recently put out a press statement that fur will no longer grace, or disfigure in my opinion, Paul Smith's collections, elsewhere in Ready To Wear AW11 Fur has simply amplified in luxury usage that is like some show of attempted verbal satire that borders on the ridiculous, this is a step back for the reasons of the humane.
Erdem, however, adorned the models felicitously, beyond prettying exception. The red velvet sea of flora against deep trance-like midnight garden tones, tapestry inspiration, chiffon's, and eerily stunning; captivating, pond-like utter sheer submergence in to the lake; Ophelia depictions and romantic silhouettes. The room was filled with a melancholic ambiance of the orchestral seance. Like poetry in motion, or a dream like state. Here we have a British designer who epitomising the sublime, and a metaphorical stately aura. I was drawn into a subconsciously dark but beautiful world. More updates and overviews of the best, and the rest from London Fashion Week AW11 to follow...
