From September Issue to September Issue, Fashion dispersed and rejuvenates in front of our very eyes, on timid catwalks and bold landscapes.

With a fair assessment that runway 2010 had a dreary start, bringing the end of a differential ‘a la mode’ to couturier Christian La Croix, and losing the ecstasy to our fashion drive ‘McQueen’. Such a volatile industry bounces back on a multi-tudinal scale, reminding us why British fashion will always dictate what ‘originality’ truly comprises of.

Although French in origin, with luxury as first hand forte, Roland Mouret made a dramatic opening to this year’s London Fashion Week. What appeared to be ghostly mirages of the late Alexander McQueen’s silhouettes, Mouret can only be positively credited for his apt take on Savile Row acclaimed tailoring.

Exhibiting structured head pieces resembling gothic silhouettes, concealing hoods and drapes, tiers, Balmain inspired shoulders and a retrospective industrial colour palette, Mouret laid his path bare to the front of the designers at LFW.

 
What clearly reflected a strong performance amongst the masses of pixelated prints, galactic colour merges, futuristic silhouettes and bold palettes, LFW benefited from a classic contemporary touch displaying creditable innovation?

Speaking on a more personal note, less critiquing, Mouret along with the likes of Gareth Pugh, the upcoming Mary Katrantzou and fashion veteran MBE holder Hussein Chalayan, Februarys runway has segregated the upcoming fashion greats, paving the way for a new generation of futuristic though and delving into what initially inspired each and every one of these MA St Martin’s graduates. Feeding back to their roots, something that would even get Ms Wintour in a ruffle about.


Check out next September issue and see if I’m right!
