LFW: Creativity to Harness...
SHARE
“Sorry your seat seems to have been taken by family and friends,” says someone with a half-shaven hairstyle and a clipboard. Welcome to Central Saint Martin’s MA graduate show. A grueling endurance sport of pure creativity - think one and a half hours, 197 looks and twenty designers applauded by their wildly dressed supporters all sardined in tight.
It can be hard to maintain focus. Even by look 30 you’re wondering if perhaps a rubber hoop could be the best way to finish a seam?
But there's no other show like it for fresh student blood, and a peak into what the next generation of design talent are currently fixated with - this year it seems varying degrees of the Middle Eastern headdress.
So with starchitect Zaha Hadid, Mrs. B (of Browns) and former graduate Gareth Pugh in the audience - wonder if he came for inspiration or his next design assistant? - let the games begin! And they did with knitwear designer Luke Brooks who opened the show with an Olympic ring adorning his shaggy swamp creatures.
Next up of interest: Yong Kyun Shin’s HR Giger-inspired velvet and wool creations that incorporated metal slinkies and Kenji Kawasumi’s Flintstones-esque, pastel felted herringbone wool man dresses (huge points for textile expertise!).
The most wearable award goes to Erna Einarsdóttir’s series of monochromatic mohair jumpers (some resembling cut pile carpet from the 80s) and ¾ metallic thread patchwork pencil skirts. Then came Helen Lawrence’s blanket-stitched, cyborg caveman (could be losing it by now!) dresses with see-through pantaloons.Next we went 3D with Hellen van Rees’s modern rift on Coco Chanel’s tweed suiting and Yulia Kondranina’s fringed maxi dresses. Finally, last but not least, there were Craig Green’s muzzled men literally carrying the world on their shoulders.
Clap, clap, clap.
Hurried exit to Victoria Beckham’s (recently made the British Government’s International Ambassador for Britain's GREAT Campaign) event to celebrate her Victoria, Victoria Beckham line. Rosé champers well earned.
