If Brighton Fashion Week’s Couture show celebrated all things weird and wonderful and the Ready-to-Wear collections trend-led, everyday style, then Spindle magazine’s picks fit snugly to plug fashion's middle ground.
Oops! Fashion’s Lycra monochrome jumpsuit, geometric-print puff shoulders, capes and hoods were out-there, yet deconstructed wouldn’t look out of place in any of the summer’s self-consciously cool nu-rave festival tents.
Dig For Victory’s colour block body con dresses weren’t dissimilar to the many Herve Leger bandage dress inspired pieces that have graced the catwalk and high-street over the past year. However, the one-off pieces, created from vintage fabrics, indulged in more fashion fun as the show went on – the satin and velvet 'Red Riding Hood meets French maid' dress would be a dream for any dress-up box.
Charlotte Haggerty’s monochrome numbers used feathers and ruffles in much the same way as Flik Hall had demonstrated the night before, but also employed more pedestrian styling to create wearable yet captivating ensembles. This collection was all about taking a mix-and-match approach to fashion, keeping the colours simple but using contrasting panels and clashing prints and textures and adding details such bows and lace leggings to create a striking eclectic effect.
Finally, Brett Le Bratt’s menswear collection created hybrid fashions, merging Hawaiian surfer-dude prints with yachting-set deck style and adding an Edwardian and military edge to the boho artist look, in each case producing ensembles that were sharp, classic and fun.
