First was Carlotta Gherzi..
A designer i knew absolutely nothing about before attending the show. The collection was called 'Underwater' a ultra wearable collection for an 'urban girl'. The designs used Beach inspired pebble prints with simple textile techniques such as panels of pleating. The whole collection hit the nail on the head for its target market but for me i felt it lacked innovation, not a collection that took my breath away but I can appreciate its appeal and can see it selling well!
Next up was Fashion shenzhen, the most bizarre Fashion show i have been to.. the show was in 2 parts. The first saw Haiping Xie's Collection a twist on traditional oriental fashion, There were some great elements to this part of the show, Xie 'aimed to spread cultural awareness of the orient'. A wide range of techniques and embellishments were used in this part of the show, Xie managed to maintain a clear oriental style but in an original contemporary way.
An interval between parts saw a short film promoting the highlights of Shenzhen in China, Quite unexpected during a fashion show, but i guess the show was aiming to be more than just a show but to highlight how proud the participators were to be the first to show their collections at lfw with was quite nice really.
The second part was called 'ground show' a more wearable half of the show, the looks were completely different to the first half but highlighted a different aspect of the country.
