Photography Nick DeLietoFashion / NewsFashion / NewsGod Colony mixes Rihanna & market stall chat for Richard Malone soundtrackThe Irish-born designer opened LFW with his AW18 collection inspired by his hometownShareLink copied ✔️February 17, 2018February 17, 2018TextAstrid HiortPhotographyNick DeLietoRichard Malone AW18 With NYFW over, the AW18 womenswear shows have now moved on to London. Kick-starting LFW yesterday was Richard Malone, who presented a sustainable collection inspired by market stalls in towns like Wexford – where he was born. To emphasise the idea, Malone invited God Colony to produce the show’s soundtrack. If you aren’t familiar (you should be), the South London-based producer duo’s track “Turn My G Down” appeared in Versus campaign video and they count Björk among their fans. How better to convey his idea than to mix together the sound of a woman overheard at Wexford Market talking about her beauty, with the bop that is Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money”? As for the clothes themselves, they featured Malone’s signature stripes in bright colours, appearing on long knit dresses and jumpsuits. Elsewhere, he distressed a number of looks, resulting in extra-long fringing, and mismatched bold gingham and houndstooth prints. Listen to the soundtrack below: Escape the algorithm!
