Probably the most packed show I attended in London was Jean Pierre Braganza - the amount of people who walked in was astonishing, I think every single person who received an invite came. From the pictures I guess it isn't hard to understand why (btw these are the official images their PR sent over, with all those people there and a 101 photographers clicking their flash simultaneously there was no way I was going to get a decent shot.) - his clothes are both astonishingly creative and astonishingly beautiful and elegant.
The collection is titled Architectonic and he describes it as “a contemplation of Deroit’s unique decay” - black was the predominant colour but with lots of white, taupe and grey. He presents this collection as a time and place where machines and nature can coexist peacefully. There are lots of machinery references with motorcycles printed on the silk fabrics and hints of chrome and gunmetal on the black satin fabric. The pieces are fierce and sharp, simultaneously giving off a sensual and androgynous feeling. The pieces feature very sharp contrasting tailoring, there are angular designs but at the same time the pieces curve in at the waist and show off hints off flesh making them seem daring, even a casually styled jumpsuit gives off a sensual vibe.
I also loved the hair look by Toni & Guy that was slightly tousled but still sleek - I read on Glamour that apparently Jean-Pierre Braganza wanted the models' hair to look like they'd had sex on a Harley Davidson bike. The makeup by MAC also complimented the look perfectly.
