Fashion / ShowIoannis Dimitrousis S/S 09Backstage at London Fashion Week.ShareLink copied ✔️September 18, 2008FashionShowText Charlotte Cassedanne Photography Mauro Cocilio Ioannis Dimitrousis S/S 09 Ioannis Dimitrousis presented from behind a curtain of cassette tapes at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout, an array of 70s and 80s inspired textures and patterns. First came a zig zag motif on beige, closely followed by slinky crochet dresses in warm coloured lamé: lime, brown and orange. These were finished with wooden curtain rings and beads. This sees Dimitrousis dipping into womenswear once again. Then came the men in well tailored trousers with moon shaped pockets on the hips and the wooden olive shaped beads, turned into upper body armour. Belts and broches were innovative as they were fashioned from wooden varnished chair back rests. As for the necklaces, they were bright orange plastic half moons, echoing the motif used on the trousers, with bronze centres. And last but not least came the frilly party dresses, black and soft pink, lamé in gold. Each model had a string of tape attached to the corner of their eye and many also had tape tendrils attached to their outfits. The whole show was like a fast paced, late 70s' mix tape, stringing along back to basic techniques, like crochet and beading, and giving them a modern update, as well as incorporating a touch of 70s' disco glitter. Ioannis Dimitrousis has demonstrated that his talents lie not only in designing innovative menswear but he has managed to warm to women as well (even though his mum did give him a helping hand!)
