Front row

It all happened from the 18 to the 23 February in London, and the cyberspace!  
There is no need nowadays to be very rich and famous, one of the seven countries Vogue editors-in-chiefs or a successful blogger to watch from the front row almost every fashion show.
It is was all "live" on the internet!




Paul Smith's autumn 2011


Todd Lynn



Katrantzou is from Athens, Greece
She has a unique print technique which she turned to knitwear for the 2011 autumn/winter collection.
She was inspired by delightfull objects like Faberge eggs, court costumes of an ancient chinese dynasty, Coromandel screens and Meissen porcelain.


"Print is pushed above and beyond where we have seen it go before, clashing and contrasting, across garments, overwhelming the viewer, but never the wearer."

"I gave the knitters in Italy a nightmare," she said. "They had to re-set the machines for every single line."

 "It's got this lava-lamp kind of look and I found someone in London who was prepared to make it into pieces I could use on my dresses."
Christopher Kane
