There will be another LFW loss for next season and as I was browsing through the Fashion East sample sale yesterday, it struck me that the cluster of labels that were hanging on the rails were like a nucleus London fashion collective, each designer contributing completely different things to the scene but it seems right to say all their names in succession and in tandem with each other. Jonathan Saunders will however be taken out of this nucleus as he will be showing in New York come February.
For the past two seasons, he has played with shape and structure more so than when he first started and was purely known for his printwork. I thought it would be nice to buy a little bit of signature Saunders print in the form of this dress from the SS06 collection at the sale to perhaps give a litle bit of a reminder of what attracted me to Saunders’ work in the first place; the colour compositions, the perfect judgement of timing and structure in pattern.
Without wanting to give people a too much of a headache as they follow the coloured lines of the dress, a sheer tunic will tone it down a bit…(victim alert, as I am indeed falling for all things sheer next season…. abeit layered of course with zero flesh showing through….!)
