This collection reminds me of the 1920's; the slick hair waved back and all the fitted tailored suits. I love the modern twist on a classic silhouette. The picture above shows four outfits from the collection, all with pin stripes. However throughout the collection is patchwork detail. In the second outfit it is very subtle but the blazer and trousers are made using the process of patchwork, hard to notice because the material has been cut so well, the pin stripe is all in the same direction. The fourth outfit it far more obvious, however they haven't made the pin stripe in a random order; it is contrasting but works so well.
The patchwork process runs throughout the collection. These suits have a variety of fabrics. The first outfit has similar colours, the second and third outfit is more contrasting.
When I think of a 1920's suit, I always imagine them wearing a velvet blazer. I love how in the first, second and third outfit from the picture above contain velvet. The first outfit uses a variety of velvet, from red to maroon. The second and third outfit use it slightly, around the collar, I like how they have used it here, it hold the structure of the collar and borders the blazers well. They also contain patches of quilted material here they have added another texture to the blazers. The fourth and final outfit from the collection contains patchwork with gold print.
The only splash of colour throughout this collection is red!
You have to admire the detail and quality in these blazers. The patchwork isn't random. It has been well throughout and planned. Imagine having to make the pattern for these blazers!
