Central St Martins
Transparent fabrics, acid colours, springs and castors for heels and models dressing out of a suitcase on the catwalk were just a few of the antics at Central Saint Martins. Natalie Born presented 'surgical chic' - dresses like surgery gowns complete with fold lines which flap open at the back. Munchumart Numbenjapol's dresses are embroidered with unfinished tapestries and decorated with the wooden frames used by embroiderers to keep tapestries taught. Colours clash for Hiroyuki Saito - ice blue and pink in one outfit and purple, lime green and yellow on another. Tight, long sleeve jackets and satin dirndl's, heavy with beading, herald a return to the 50s for Tamara Surguladze. It was playtime for Hokuto Katsui with Andy Pandy-style suits decorated with numbers. Lee Broom's models wafted serenely down the catwalk wearing starkly constructed, sheer black net dresses, complete with coffin shaped head dresses. Using neat tailoring and slinking down the runway in black and cerise, Dean Gardner's men wore tight trousers that either exposed hip bones or flared from the knee and trailed behind them. Natasha Surguladze 'antiqued' her dresses so they look burnt and bleached and then printed shiny roses on them. Finally, Signe Rose's collection closed the show with tight leather corsets in red and flesh pink, a knee length crinoline smothered with purple and yellow crochet flowers, cut away at the bum to reveal petticoats and knickers.
