The
Japanese born CSM graduate has worked for Alexander McQueen and Vivienne
Westwood so a designer influenced by my hero and heroine of fashion raised
more than a little excitement.

Presenting
the BA final collection entitled ‘Book-a-holic’, the young designer’s eclectic
printing skill were debuted in their full finery. Delicate book pages are exposed in a
wash of deep blue onto crisp linens and cottons and delicately complimented by
leaves and flowers.
My
favourite piece was the above pictured dress with its intricate leafy overlay evoking
the natural, feminine romanticism of the collection.
Further
international influence infused in the week was the offering from Greek designer
Yiannis Kariotoisis with his SS13 collection -
UTOPIA.
The
passionate yellows and endless flow of material running through the collection
emulated the ripples heat of a far Eastern paradise. The trail of drapes and
capes lead the imagination through a bustling Moroccan market or the tiled
corridors of an Arabian palace and conjures the warmth of a strong summer
season collection. The little variation between pieces and highlights of
shimmering material emphasises continuity in a hazy mirage-like blur.
