Structured elongation and textural juxtaposition forms the basis of this elevated and refined collection. An overall sense of discipline and formality is softened by moments of playful femininity: girly dresses feature powerful military epaulettes, while buttoned-up high necks, laced cuissardes and controlled application of military knits exist alongside silk M65 jackets adorned with floral motifs. This continual process of deconstruction, reinvention and collage mirrors the constantly evolving East London landscape. Ultimately, the arrival of this collection evokes both the brand and the city’s past with defining their present and future.
