So I was given tickets to design duo Jenny Holmes and Dimitris Theocharidis (Jena Theo) AW10 collection catwalk at Somerset House on the first day of LFW. The collection was titled ‘Silent Modes’ inspired by silent movies, the French Resistance, 1950’s glamour and 3D effects.
Waiting for the show to start me and Hayles were taking advantage of the free Raspberry Champagne (delicious) [insertdrunksmiley] as you do at these things.
The models were all perfectly groomed with rolled and pinned hair, simulating the 1950s glamour, and the collection itself was wicked. It was full of oversized knitwear, high-waisted trousers, structured leather jackets, flowing jersey dresses and denim. In terms of colours, it was very neutral yet, vibrant. There were teals, blues, whites, greys, and beige, but the use of colour blocking and printing made them stand out. Elegance, fluidity, vibrant and abstract; just a few words to sum up the collection.
