MARK FAST & LONDON FASHION WEEK LOVE



IM THINKING...
Mark Fast is definately one to watch this fashion week, there are few people so devoted to the non sculptural knitwear techniques which still hugg the body suffieciently for this great era of the body-sock ( I say era- i really mean demand and admiration). Normally i dont love such flesh-happy attire- but there is huge potential for layering with his stuff, and a great many organic patterns for the eye to wander over.

London fashion week is pending and i am EXCITED, I'm not usually this excitied but its like the britney comeback- everyone wants it to happen dispite the fact people love to be sceptical about it... this is why americans love us so much- we have same optimism against the odds. Maybe if people start banging on about the predictability of NY fashion week a bit more they would up their game with some serious suprises!
I have been reading much about the promotional buzz surrounding LFW not perhaps supporting the easily marketable success of young designers which has been spilling into the press the last few years... and that confidence in the event is lacking despite this.

Although you can hardly expect the sure-fire exceptional execution of each show as a grand cultural event (as in Paris), there are always going to be more suprises because the schedule allows more space for the up-and coming. London after all... is the fountain for innovative ideas as my old tutot used to say, but often these innovators get offers they cannot refuse from rival fashion capitals.



Personally, I don't mourn the loss of our biggest names from the schedule, I think the turnover of great designer produce should be emphasised and promoted. I mean, I love the way fashion houses are nurtured in Paris because of the great respect they have for it as an art, but here in London the people of 'great ideas' are recognised and honoured much before they have reached the peak of refinement, thus providing the element of suprise.
