Initial reaction:
A relaxed and confident mixture of leisurely luxury with an off-duty dance aesthetic. Focussed on movement with a hint of sport, the collection included T-shirts and luxury sweatshirts finished with a matching bow in the same fabric. Opening the show, Edie Campbell wore a cotton bathing suit style body and a nubbly-knit cardigan coat.
At the barre:
You were reminded of a dancer on her way to rehearsals. In particular, the look worn by Rose Smith, a cropped wrap-around knit jumper paired with black knit knickers, might be worn by a ballet dancer during warm-up.
Texture:
A very tactile collection with a mixture of luxe and every-day materials, like raw-edge denim and sweatshirt fabric. Hanne Gaby Odiele wore a gold lurex tank over an oversized washed-out yellow shirt and relaxed denim trousers. Soft cottons and knits mixed with heavy linens and denim, appliqued with mesh tulle. Super-luxe comfort clothes for a girl on the go.
