Corrie Nielsen’s SS13 collection was by far one of my
favourites of this year’s London Fashion Week.
Taking inspiration from London’s Royal Botanic Gardens, metallic
silk was shaped around the body like giant roses, as well as there being lots
of folds conjuring up images of leaves, and petals and all the intricate and delicate
parts of the flower – beautifully avant-garde.
The animalistic and wildlife theme was further emphasised in
the models hair – half of it was slicked back in a wet-look which was juxtaposed
against the back-combed ends adding insane amounts of volume, as well as the
music they walked featuring sounds of birds and trickling water. Some of the
models even had head pieces that were structured into the shapes of flowers.
The soft colour palette of nudes, light pinks and blues, and
the delicate fabrics such as taffeta, chiffon, organza were contrasted with the
big structure and tailoring in the garments, and the final red carpet dress to
come down the runway had a beautiful textured silk train which was put together
in such a way to make it look like it was full of feathers.
The models were literally transformed into walking flowers
down the catwalk in what was a beautiful collection from Nielsen, reminding us
that fashion really is an art-form.
These photos were taken by Kaye Ford who was also part of
team Notion at LFW – She’s awesome.
