London Fashion Week S/S 2012

Jonathan Saunders

Colour theory is Jonathan Saunders's strongest suit. Working in a Floridian palette of aqua, peach, turquoise and lime, Saunders delivered a mouthwatering vision of full skirts, painter jackets, pyjama blouses, square-necked pinafores and gauzy knits against the West London skyline surrounding Paddington Central. There was whiff of the 1950s in the air, with silhouettes kept demure and most lengths dropping below the knee. There was no doubting the modernity of the collection, however, as models sported exaggerated Amy Winehouse eyeliner and low ponytails. Highlights included jacquard dresses emblazoned with a modern take on the paisley print in ice blue and lemon, and sheer, long-sleeved dresses embroidered with flourishes reminiscent of wrought-iron railings. They were made all the more provocative with a little satin ribbon fixed down the open back
