Chock full of sequined houndstooth check minis, suggestive cherries dangling off jersey, a grey marl sweater with cheeky nipple tassles, patchwork rhombi continuing the harlequin and folksy trends- I adored Ashish's playful take on the Hollywood ingenue for his A/W collection...
From the bonkers eyewear to the downright naughty lattice skirt, these are clothes are designed to bring out the girly Lolita inside the powerful street-savvy woman. Though when a precocious 13 year old turned to her mother and declared "I love those shoes", referring to a pair of 8 inch Perspex stripper's platforms with flashing heel I did become concerned. Is it appropriate for children to be exposed to Fashion Week up close and personal? Would love to know your thoughts on this one.
