A CHILD OF THE JAGO

Designer duo Simon Armitage and Joseph Corre released their ?Terrorist” collection on the Fall 2010 London runway, focusing their aesthetic on ?finely tailored menswear, mixed in with a heavy dose of rock n roll attitude and punk styling?. A variety of sporty casual pieces are featured in the latest eclectic collection from the underground British team forming A Child of The Jago.

ADA ZANDITON

Showcasing her collection at Vauxhall Fashion Scout, Ada Zanditon?s ?Echolocation? was inspired by the journey bats make through the twilight realm; their ability to navigate through the night sky using only sound. Mixing street-smart urbanity, the collection features architectural and structural shapes and bright print second-skin tailoring. Using organic cotton bamboo for t-shirts featuring two unique prints, Zanditon will donate 10% of the profits to the Bat Conservation Trust.

ALICE PALMER

Alice Palmer played with a palette of black, white and silver for her merino lamb’s wool silk-mix pieces that are tailored to conform closely to the lines of the body. Lethal punk studded tights added drama to the molded knitwear line whilst long black asymmetrical gowns add elegance.

AMANDA WAKELY

This Amanda Wakely collection looks to the Seventies for Fall inspiration; leather tunics layered over cashmere sweater dresses. Stunning midnight blue slim-line, tailored daywear for the perfect ready to wear wardrobe with a sophisticated line of evening dresses in blush and graphite tones for high drama.

AMINAKA WILMONT

The 2007 Fashion Fringe winners Maki Aminaka Lofvander and Marcus Wilmont kicked off their Fall 2010 runway show with a series of signature print silk jersey dresses that experimented with drapery, twists and lines. Playing with texture, the design team of Aminaka Wilmont have introduced layered knits into their collection paired with bondage strap skinny trousers. What stood out the most though, was the combination of winter white fur lined and leather-work jackets.
