“Blink” Accessories: Mawi’s AW’15 statement pieces

Friday, September 11th, 2015

And when we say ‘statement pieces’ we mean it in the most direct way possible! When we saw East London label, Mawi‘s AW’15 collection at February’s London Fashion Week, their new knits and structured bags were causing quite a commotion.

Fast forward a little and Madonna was shot with the ‘Dealer’ bag in her sticky mits. That’s when it was clear that Mawi were on to a good thing. Unsurprisingly some of the styles have completely sold out, but some of the other variations on this theme could still be yours. You just need to decide if you’re a Dealer or a Thief…

If you are a fashion fan, fashion student or a working designer, then this is a great resource for you. Not only is ‘Fashion Knitwear’ a beautiful book, filled with gorgeous imagery and design illustrations, it also an education in the art of knitting within the fashion world.

Designer, author and lecturer, Jenny Udale, profiles some of the most influential and innovative designers, giving us insight into their inspiration and approach to the knit elements of their collections. Without getting mired in technicalities, Udale gives us insight into the way the craft of knit is constantly developing, moving forward and being applied in new and exciting ways.

“Blink” Menswear: Lyle & Scott x Jonathan Saunders

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

It’s a design marriage made in heaven. Two Scottish labels, both with a boldly graphic handwriting. One with an impressive, longstanding heritage, and one with an impressive, ground breaking fashion reputation. Yes, we are talking about Lyle and Scott‘s collaboration with Jonathan Saunders (I think the title of this post may have given the game away a bit…).

The capsule collection really stood out amongst the other labels on show at London Collections: Men. The energetic colour and pattern combinations are so striking. I love how it embraces both Lyle and Scott’s golfing roots as well as reflecting what Saunder’s is so great at delivering. It’s traditional, rooted in the brand’s argyle patterns, and yet utterly contemporary, tapping in to the trend for strongly graphic patterns. I may have to get the boy to invest in some, just so that I can borrow it!

“Blink” London Fashion Week: Leutton Postle

Thursday, October 10th, 2013

We were delighted to see Leutton Postle at London Fashion Week’s exhibition at Somerset House, after previously meeting the duo at Vauxhall Fashion Scout. This innovative and experimental knitwear label always deliver a punchy, bold and energetic collection and the Spring Summer ’14 offer certainly follows that signature look. This creative, London based pair, met when they were studying at Central Saint Martins, and launched their label to great critical claim in September 2011. In fact even prior to launching their joint label, Jenny Postle’s graduate collection was featured in the covetable windows of Browns. Not a bad start I think you’ll agree.

For SS’14, the pair have added a little hardware to the equation, through some harness style belts which serve to add structure to the softer shapes, working brilliantly with all of the graphic pattern. They loved the impact of these elements so much that they have also developed them into a small capsule collection of accessories.
