Influences for Katie Eary’s collection this season come from anatomy via the glossy work of contemporary artist Jeff Koons. These are translated through texture, colour and print throughout the collection with giant tube knit brain textures stitched to knitwear and neoprene appliquéd with organ prints to get under our skin.

As always, the suit was at the core of each look by Tiger of Sweden, as proved by Tarun Nijjer @ D1 Models, who took to the catwalk in a simple, well made grey two piece – a classic offering from the brand. Post – punk details were key- trousers were worn slightly higher at the waist and tapered at the ankle.

A very literal reference of the wild west, Xander took a famously SS trend and made it ready for the harsh climates of the winter. Cowboy style boots were made almost wellington like adding the ever popular utilitarian theme to the collection. Where double denim would be popular in the summer, Zhou envisioned double leather looks taking off in the Autumn and offered them in a range of colours including navy, tan, black and white.

Initial inspirations this season sprung from a visit home to Yorkshire for Agi, where his mother reminded him of a collection entitled “The Coolman Collection” that he’d designed at the tender age of four. This sparked a childhood revival, which led to the design duo spending their research time in primary schools with the students deconstructing garments and seeing how the children would put them back together.
