We kicked off the season with a familiar face, Jaime Wei Huang. I always enjoy her designs and the air of utilitarianism that ties together all her collections.
This time though, there was an unexpected and captivating dark edge to the signature apronesque silhouettes. Straps and leather tassels hung down, accentuating the models movement.
The unmistakable sound of Rammstein set the tone while models strutted down the catwalk in chunky shoes and with wet hair obscuring their faces .
They were cocooned in oversized aviator jackets, wrapped in faux fur, adorned with tassels and draped with straps.
The tasseled back packs and gloves with different attachments complemented the clothes perfectly and added just the right amount of detail to the look.
The fur was panelled into the garments, adding volume in unusual places (back and arms), altering their silhouettes and adding a touch of softness to an overall tough aesthetic.
I would describe the collection as dramatic but wearable. I saw a lot of pieces that could easily be integrated into my wardrobe but would continue to make a statement whenever worn.
