Renowned for wearable modern classics, one doesn't expect shock tactics from Malaysian-born designer Justin Oh. Instead Oh takes elements of traditional 20th century British dress and gently subverts them - and this collection is no exception. Camel separates include pants, jeans and skirts in a soft corduroy rib, sweaters, culottes and a leather halterneck top. Sloany striped shirts are given a quirky touch with over-sized white leather bow ties, whilst other accessories include leather gloves - with a yellow pair that resemble gardening gloves - and wellington-style boots with added heels. Other countryside elements with an urban twist, include tweed hotpants, checks and narrow long-sleeved knee-length dresses with slouchy over-hang waists. For evening there's some more dramatic numbers in black, with leather playing a major role. There's a clever take on the asymmetric sleeved top and a woolen sweater with long tight cuffs from wrist to elbow.
