I started following MA graduation collections when a friend of mine was showing a few years back, but it’s now become a bit of a regular thing. As much as I enjoy following established designers and look forward to the shows every February and September, there is something about these MA collections that keeps them a little bit different and special.
Every season I make a note of the names of the students whose designs have stood out and then hope that one day I’ll see their work for sale.
Here just two from this years class that caught my eye.
Sohui Huang – I find the abstract print here incredibly interesting and love the way the dress seems to drape and move.
Tim Rhys – Evans – Quite different from the above, but I love the snood/ruffle/neck-brace combined with the sharp tailored body. Not sure I could get away with it in the office, but I wonder if we’ll see it trickle down and inspire the high street in a slightly more wearable way.
Big fan of the simple, almost austere, make-up. No need for distractions, the clothes do the talking.
