FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Ximon Lee LFWM AW/17
GQ China have become an established presence on the London menswear catwalks, each season showcasing some of the excellent Chinese design talent. This season it was the turn of H&M Design Award winner Ximon Lee, under his eponymous label XIMONLEE. Entitled "SHAME", Lee delivered a sublime collection that was part fashion, part art; and a delightful musing on the…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Masion Mihara Yasuhiro LFWM AW/17
Mihara’s AW17 show was undoubtedly inspired by cultures of different times and the possibly fashion holds through creativity. The collection challenged the view that the pursuit of simplicity is in fact complex. The garments on offer did not exude elaborate decoration or embellishment yet instead the search for subtle detail, silhouette and basic pieces that were elegantly classic.…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Vivienne Westwood LFWM AW/17
How do you put LFWM to bed? With a paracetamol and an ice bath for those tired legs? Well, being amongst the magic of legend, Dame Vivienne Westwood helps too. This was the most anticipated show of the lot, so returning to London after what seemed like forever, the queen of punk put on a high-energy display of political anarchy.
Her eco-warriors (aka the models) charged down the runway heading…
FAULT Magazine Reviews Sibling LFWM AW/17
So London! So LCM! Every body's favourite rambunctious trouble makers, beloved for their cheeky irreverence, arresting designs, penchant for semi models, and last but never least, all those moments of genius! And as LCM graduated to become LFWM, so too did Sibling graduate: from high school rebels, to the Freshmen Class of 2017's coolest kids on the block.
The Sibling duo's AW17…
FAULT Magazine Reviews KTZ LFWM AW/17
The cult of KTZ, were once again issued with radical directive, that was this season perhaps the most radical of them all. With a subtle sleight of hand, the reaction provoked by the first look the designers sent down the catwalk was that we were in store for a selection of KTZ classics, and indeed we were; with an extreme twist! KTZ delivered a triumph in the ultimate subversion. Black…
FAULT Magazine Reviews Astrid Andersen LFWM AW/17
Astrid Andersen takes us back to a time of opulent masculinity in her AW17 menswear collection. Modern men have been seen to relinquish from the abundance of lavishness and exaggeration in which gentlemen used to dress.
Andersen’s autumn collection revived this decadence and cleverly juxtaposed it with urban grit and modernity that can be worn by the men of today.
Paying homage to the…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Blood Brother LFWM AW/17
Taking heavy inspiration from the quintessentially British moving landmark that is the River Thames, the AW17 Blood Brother collection poised the question of how the surrounding iconic buildings and abstract oddities of the river reflect London so well.
The collection presented monochromatic prints resembling mapping and cartography of the river. These designs…
FAULT MAGAZINE REVIEWS Chalayan LFWM AW/17
Showcasing his AW17 presentation, Chalayan marked his return on the third day of LFWM. A sea of navy blue, black and grey flooded the runway as the models walked though Chalayan’s Mayfair studio. Inspired (very subtly) by Ancient Greece, we saw loose tailoring with a lot more draping, and softer geometric silhouettes.
Dropped shoulders served…
