Jonathan Saunders Spring Summer 2012

The collection was a mixture of eras- 50’s fuller silhouettes combined with the prints of retro 70’s and the gradient of colour.

It was also about comfort, and being able to mix and match the garments as there was quite a lot of separates.

The cuts and shapes were simple and nothing new, but i loved Saunders play on colour and the way he clashed them and mixed up fabric combinations.

I would say the collection was quite demure, uber feminine & prim n proper.

Ann-Sofie Back Atelje Spring Summer 2012

This collection by Ann-Sofie Back was a rather minimal affair. Using deconstruction and a range of fabrics and textures with different densities to create modern, boxy garments. 

Back also used prints a tiny bit in the form of monochrome stripes being layered up on top of each other to create something which resembled a hologram. 

The colour palette (or what there was of it) was extremely restricted. Mainly using black, white and greys and dabbling a tiny bit with hot pink.

Also, there was menswear shapes and pieces running throughout the majority of the collection, with tailored trousers and oversized blazers.

Favourite elements of the collection included sheer panels and deconstruction.
