Louise Goldin; Meadham Kirchhoff; Rok Hwang, CSM MA Fashion
Highlights of Day 3 include Louise Goldin and Meadham Kirchhoff, the Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design MA Fashion show, Harriet’s Muse and Doii at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, the Emma cook video at the Topshop venue and Cooperative Designs.
Meadham Kirchhoff were inspired by ‘gypsies, junkies and blue roses’ for a world-traveller collection which worked best when the ethnic was balanced by modern shapes. Louise Goldin, winner of the BFC’s Fashion Forward scheme, brought us angular padded pieces designed to protect, mostly in textured blacks but with the addition of deep forest greens.
CSM MA fashion is always the occasion for prizes. The Harrods Design Award was given to two designers – elegant womenswear from Jackie Lee and sophisticated folded detailing from textile designer Lilly Heine. The L’Oreal Professionnel award went to Rok Hwang for his softly futuristic collection.
Emma Cook; Harriet's Muse
Emma Cook’s film presentation at the Topshop space was a mastery in black and white with Hitchcock birds, feathers and lace cut-outs. Over at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, Harriet’s Muse’s collection was entitled Armoured & Dangerous and featured long lean silhouettes that contrasted corsetry with more voluminous shapes.
Doii; Cooperative Designs
Doii gave us a Russian doll seen through the eyes of a Parisian, with quirky digital prints. Cooperative Designs focused on bold knitted stripes and checks – constructivist meets deconstruction.
