Desiree Mejer's Fake London label staged a stonking show which begged, borrowed and stole from the archives of British youth culture. This show stood out for several reasons: it was held at a venue large enough to house those invited (not only was there space to breathe, but photographers had enough room and light to work in), there was a party atmosphere on and off the catwalk, even though it was lunchtime. The main collection features subversive surfwear, lace Ragga catsuits, crown T-shirts and schoolgirly togs while the Genius denim collection offers target jeans, deconstructed denim, mini skirts and pedal pushers. Fake's signature Union Jack turns up again on sweaters and shirts but these incarnations are more pedestrian than patriot. Other highlights include protester inspired gear with dirty Doc Martens and huge parkas, military pieces and a spaced out take on camouflage, geezer casual jumpers and wide dog face trousers.
