Best of Vauxhall Fashion Scout

Beekay menswear in his second exhibition looks at Heavy Metals and goes towards a New Age aesthetic, but we love the glove soft biker jackets in non-traditional warm earthy brown and a variety of textures a simple black men’s trouser.

Doii Paris with her mix of stunning sequined layers that made each dress look “iced” and her mix of bright posey colored florals (levels of pink and red) along with grey gothic lace and skulls one would think it was too ornate for real life, but the flattering silhouettes (roomy large collared coats, fragile blouses, art deco sheaths and a Grecian column dress so lovely it would be red carpet ready today, lets us know that along with true artistic vision somewhere lurks a salesperson.

Dean Quinn added jewelry elements on to the actual garment. Silver zipper zigzags rang round the body conscious dresses, but it was the jet black beads formed into a pompon shoulder that turned the little dresses into a “performance” of their own.

Jacob Kimmie… where to start. Classic palette of black and ivory read Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow in their heyday. Large black sequins, flat front tank dresses with pert pleated skirts hammered home a 1920’s reference. But it was the creamy wools, massive sashes, ostrich plume sleeves and architectural front draping that made this collection one of the best of London’s Fashion Week in general. Women want pretty clothing that they can wear, but doesn’t date them to a specific season right now, and Jacob Kimmie more than delivered.
