London Fashion Week

This year marks the 30th anniversary of London Fashion Week (1984 – 2014).

Traverse the years’ memorable high points:

the innovative, quirky, boundary-pushing, delight

that is British fashion.

…

 

 

1983

The British Fashion Council (BFC) was founded with an aim to coordinate varied designer exhibitions under one framework, in presenting the best of British fashion to the international press and market.

(image from britishfashioncouncil.co.uk):

BFC somerset housesh1700

…

1984

The collection of fashion talent ignites the idea for an organised means of showcase and hence, London Fashion Week is organised and launched by Annette Worsley-Taylor, founder London’s Designer Collective and  PR expert, Lynne Frank.

The first event takes place in a West London car park (February, 1984) with dynamic catwalk shows and exhibitions.

The first ever British Fashion Awards are bestowed with designer, Katharine Hamnett recognised as Designer of the Year.

…

1985

Cult label Bodymap by designers Stevie Stewart and David Holah, set the fashion world a-quiver with its  “Barbie Takes a Trip Around Nature’s Cosmic Curves” collection, off-beat creations and general anti-fashion philosophy.

…

 

1986

 

The British fashion industry is boosted by support from Diana, Princess of Wales and British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher attend the shows.

 

…

 

1988

Naomi Campbell models in Jasper Conran’s spring/summer show and in that year London-born Ms. Campbell becomes the first black model on the cover of French Vogue.

…

1992

The fashion industry is not spared the storm from impact of economic recession.  Only a handful of designers show at The Ritz Hotel, London.  Yet, where there is a storm there is a silver lining.  Twenty-three year old Alexander McQueen presents his first collection  inspired by Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel victims in 1888. Sewn into the clothing was human hair in acknowledgement of the hair the Ripper’s prostitute victims would have sold.

Mr. McQueen was a story-teller and his clothes were the visual representations of the tales.

from Alexander McQueen:
“The inspiration behind the hair came from Victorian times when prostitutes would sell theirs for kits of hair locks, which were bought by people to give to their lovers. I used it as my signature label with locks of hair in Perspex. In the early collections, it was my own hair.”

A new fashion reign begins, a fashion king is crowned:

“Here were capelets made out of crows’ feathers, tailcoats with dramatic sihouettes. The designs were radical, disturbing and viscereal at a time when taste meant sleek and minimal,” recalls Harriet Quick, fashion features director of Vogue. “McQueen’s language is life, death, sex, religion – he’s a true great.”

…

1993

Milliner, Philip Treacy presents his first show,  which features model Naomi Campbell who walks topless.

 

The industry continued active involvement of assistance for emerging talent with the launch of NEWGEN, a platform for gifted up-and-comers.   Designated as ‘ones to watch’ were Alexander McQueen and design duo Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro of Clements Ribeiro.

Model with curves,  Sophie Dahl makes her runway debut, sparking new discussion on skeletal physique of runway models and an apparent link to eating disorders, such as anorexia, from the demands of models adhering to an ultra skinny fashion- type.

presented an inspired collection based on the shoe.

The patterns are collage inspired –

soles

buckles

zippers

tips

subtly positioned to highlight body parts.

…

For interpretive appreciation, the collection

can be fractioned into three sections:

shoe elements …  shoe graphics …  florals

and the shoes worn by the runway models anchored the look.

David Koma, design inspiration, Japanese samurai armour, London Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 2014 Collections

London Fashion Week

Spring/Summer 2014

…

Georgian born designer

(image from en.newstyle-mag.com):

David Koma

stayed true to his signature aesthetics of

framework,  form,  fit

with a collection inspired by

ancient Japanese samurai dress.

…

(image from gallery.sjsu.edu):

…

The samurai were the warriors of

medieval and pre-modern Japan.

During the Edo Period,  which lasted for

almost three hundred years (1603 – 1867)

they held the elevated status as the

highest ranking class in

Japanese hierarchical society

…

(image from tumblr.com):

Adhering to a strict code of ethics based on

Confucian and Zen Buddhist teachings

the era of the samurai valued the martial arts

as vehicle for self discipline, loyalty and honour.

…

With his  s/s 2014 collection, David Koma creates anew

 the aura of power,  the precision,  the silhouette

 of samurai armour all while maintaining a

defined, assured femininity …

Beautiful!

Genius!

…

The Collection
