Liesemarie Schulte-Kitzing, Middlesex University
The last show on the GFW catwalk schedule, Middlesex University’s show was strong on drama and spectacle. Beveiled brides and cyber-skeletons appeared alongside a strong selection of innovative fashion-forward collections.
Liesemarie Schulte-Kitzing opened the show with a collection with a stong romantic European folkloric inspiration – a country bride fusing tan leather boots and rucksack with long long tulle dresses and veils scattered with large cut-out flowers and faded re petal headdresses. Grey, cream, tan and slate blues work together for a considered look.
Lucy Kenney, Middlesex University
Cartoon-style skull and bones inspired Lucy Kenney for a fun collection all in black. Exagerated mini puffball skirts created character for models with skull masks and bone hair accessories.
Zainab Vandu-Chikolo, Middlesex University
Zainab Vandu-Chikolo’s colourful collection of duvet-style puffa coats, quilted satin accents, prints and knitwear pieces evoked glamorous alpine skiwear. A grey base is overrun by brilliant orange, violet and gold tones.
Jessica Au, Middlesex University
Menswear from Jessica Au took oversized jersey devore, black large-scale mesh and grey melange and tuned it into a decorative collection that featuerd dramatic overscale bags
Marlene Oddershede Bach, Middlesex University
Marlene Oddershede Bach’s finale collection featured black leather and fur offset against digitally-blurred feather prints in yellow and orange that were designed into both long lean silhouettes or structured short shapes.
