London Fashion Week S/S 2011: Womenswear Collections
Heikki Salonen
Fashion East is celebrating its 10th anniversary and the founder of this philanthropic project to support new talent, Lulu Kennedy, deserves great cheer. The line up starred Heikki Salonen, with his wholesome, raw-edge tailored shorts, suits and ruffle trim shift dresses in oatmeal and dove grey. Another newcomer was Simone Rocha, daughter of John, whose collection included modernist tailoring, such as cut-out knee and arm panels on ivory cotton suiting, as well as layers of techno t-shirts and slips. The standout, however, was Felicity Brown, an RCA textile graduate who creates handcrafted and hand-dyed silk dresses out of mille-feuille layers of fabric. Party dresses bloomed into furls of silks at the neckline, tracing down around the torso in tonal shades of rose pink, emerald or sapphire. In a word: gorgeous.
