I was invited for the third year running to be part of the Who's Jack London Fashion Week reporting team,
team, another flurry of fabulousness; free haircuts from Tony and Guy, make up from Mac, goodies from smoothies to posh panties, and the joys of sipping elderflower martinis with Gok Wan.
Below is a copy and paste of the catwalk report I wrote for Ashish SS13 collection, an assortment of beautifully mismatches designs, encapsulating kitsch cool.
LFW: Ashish SS13
The Ashish Spring/ Summer 2013 beautifully mismatched collection was a high school catwalk of the unofficial coolest girl in school, forget the pristine matchy matchy cheerleaders, this show was all about the girl who didn’t fit in, for all the right reasons.
Outfits morphed between trousers and skirts, always leaving something out, or opposite paired together. One leg of a trouser was black sequins paired with denim or one grey cotton leg paired with one denim, or even two different shades of denim for each leg.
Tops always left something out, either armless, backless or frontless separates stark white shirts layered with chiffon and sparkly polka dots.
Jumpsuits featured with half the body in black sequins and the other half in denim, often thrown over a crisp white shirt, or pale shirt adorned with black thick type faced letters of the alphabet or a silver sequin bodice shimmering through.
Each girl’s hair scraped back into a sequined scrunchie ranging from white black and midnight blue, the beautifully dishevelled looks were accessorised with white reebook’s and mismatched sequin socks. Vintage wide eyed glasses with gold frames graced the young girls freckly faces, topping off the geek chic look.
The collection matured into floor length fitted sequined gowns, from a sparkly peach to a deep midnight blue bringing the beautifully dishevelled collection to a close.
