Welcome To Amanda Zips It Up and your MIDWEEK FASHION FIX.
In fashion news this week, it has been all about the hottest new Fashion Designers at that hotbed of creativity, Central St Martins.
CMS have just had their annual Fashion show at the main building on Granary Square in super cool Kings Cross– showcasing modern up-coming talent and their collections of the futuristic garms we’ll be wearing in years to come.
Starting with The Hover Skirt by Jada Tudor: Central to his collection is the theme of gender-nonconforming, as he is trans and from South Asia. I felt so sorry for the model trying to walk or should I say hover down the runway in this. I can’t see this look ‘taking off’.
Next is HongJi Yan from Beijing, China. He says: Myself, young delivery drivers and livestreamers. They’re everywhere but often feel invisible in a deeper way, both socially and emotionally. I wanted to express that feeling through materials that blur the line between seen and unseen. Well, I can’t UNSEE these green pants. Plus that poor guy in the middle just can’t see.
And finally, Mason Tomsett from a wee town called Dunoon, in the West of Scotland. Drawing from key childhood memories in Scotland of locker rooms, street uniforms, suits, football kits and kilts, he wanted to reimagine these traditionally masculine symbols through a queer lens. What about the kit in the middle?
Onto this week’s instalment and we discuss tech undies, men’s tweekments and KINKY BOOTS.
