Cooperative Designs
Inspired by Kenneth Anger's 'Hollywood Babylon', which details a glamorously debauched Hollywood film industry of the 1920s, Cooperative Designs brought a taste of the Roaring Twenties to the Groucho Club for its latest presentation. Models draped themselves on chaise lounges, dressed in bright textural knitted kimonos, kaftans and harem pants, while a pianist, clad in a hand-knitted black and white flapper dress, played Jazz Age songs beside them. Echoing the decadence of the era's Art Deco parties, fabrics were luxurious, proportions were sumptuously relaxed and colours were rich and deep. Words: Apphia Michael
