Simone Rocha Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection was shown in London Fashion Week, on September 19,2015.

Japan is the central theme to the collection she showed in London yesterday.

Rocha’s collection was full of exciting texture and contrast, as in the bondagelike woven ropes that crisscrossed her gossamer dresses with their puff sleeves and cloqué circle skirts; the thick and slightly menacing strips of fabric that tied at the throats of floral-print dresses, and the innocent looking ribbons that bound arms to the bodies of languid, Empire-style dresses, restricting models movements.

The hard and soft contrast came in the form of spongy neoprene dresses. They were short, boxy and tailored, with patch pockets and oversize sculpted bows planted on shoulders and hips. The linear geometry of bamboo forests, meanwhile, came through in sheer olive dresses with a crosshatch pattern, and resembled the blurred image on her show Invitation.

Sibling Spring/Summer 2016 collection – London Fashion Week

Sibling Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection was shown in London Fashion Week, September 19,2015

The show was dedicated to Joe Bates, fellow founder of the label along with Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery. He sadly passed away in August.

The label took its inspiration from youthful starlets, so it said, for a concoction of leopard print, the Riviera, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. Classic stuff reworked the Sibling way, which meant sequins, bikinis and all the aforementioned. You need to be a brave person or certainly have spirit to wear some of these pieces, but that’s the point when it comes to this brand.

Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection – “Lover’s Lace”

Round-Up: Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2015-2016 ready-to-wear collection .

The Show was in London Fashion Week ,last February. Christopher Kane dedicated this Show to his mother, Christine Kane, who sadly passed away just three days before the Christophers Kane Show…

“Everything I do essentially comes from drawing; it ultimately reflects how I feel,” says Christopher Kane. “I wanted a feeling of attraction and sensuality in the collection, something sexual but not grotesque – this is about love and art in life as well as fashion. We had a series of life drawing classes in the studio, with everybody in the team involved. It is all of our sketches combined that makes the ‘lovers lace’. It reflects that sense of togetherness; of male and female in an almost molecular and mechanical attraction, as well as a more classical sensuality –both feelings that I wanted to come across this season.”
