Despite the murmurings from fashion journos that Red or Dead have lost
their edge, they showed an inspiring collection of funny yet totally
wearable clothes that snatch ideas from Cornwall to Clapham. The
countryside was a major theme with rustic cord jodphurs, pedal pushers with
buttons at the knee, checked shirts and Aran sweaters. Think of a folk
group on a drum and bass vendetta and you're almost there. Ankle swinging
trousers worn with beetle crushers appeared alongside straight-legged
cords, 3/4 length army and brightly coloured waxed trousers. Dark denim
forms a major part of the RoD autumn/winter collection with jeans, jackets
and dungaree dresses all featuring visible orange stitching. Tweed suits
with matching pork pie hats for men and women reinforced the Hemingway
talent for tailoring, while pencil skirts worn with cropped tops, boiled
wool jumpers and knee-length boots added a 70s feel. Kinky kilts appeared
over trousers and most outfits were accompanied by knee-high diamond socks.
Other accessories include beards and sideburns (confirming that hairy faces
are back) and for your feet there's desert boots, brogues and Chelsea boots
for extra comfy rambling. The final piece shown was a blood red scented
dress produced in association with Fabergé. Apparently, the frock retains
the scent of Impulse's new body spray, I-D, even after washing! What next
Wayne, an aromatherapy clothing range? |
