Emerging Fervour

It’s fantastic that we have fabulous photographer friends who help us out with these amazing catwalks we were invited to. We went to the Ada Zanditon show on Tuesday Feb 23rd, and I took my friend Iman with me. She takes really good photos and has one of those fancy Nikon cameras…proper professional we are.

After waiting around in a massive 3-columned queue for about an hour, we finally moved and slowly creeped towards the doors to the huge room. A blessing in disguise, the back row gave Iman the opportunity to clamber onto the ledge behind her and take some nice shots. You can take a look at Flickr for lots more photographs of the show.

Please note: No one was injured as a result of taking these photographs

I really like the jackets, I like the whole over-sized idea and a lot of my favourite jackets are BIG. I also love the accents of bright colours – it’s such a refreshing thing to see after the wave of darkness throughout LFW this February. Don’t get me wrong, dark is good – but colour is priceless.

I’ve borrowed the below from the Vogue.com site, which interviewed Ada before her show.

“It’s been a rollercoaster ride from last season to this one!” Zanditon tells VOGUE.COM – noting her involvement with Vauxhall Fashion Scout and the British Fashion Council to be “both incredible opportunities” and ones that “have helped me develop my business in terms of its commercial elements and nurturing my creative vision”.

Of the vision for her solo show, Zanditon explains, ”My initial spark for the collection came from watching an intensely colourful low set winter sky through the dark inky outlines of bare tree branches from my studio window and imagining the creatures inhabiting this sultry nocturnal world, the most mysterious and eerie of which for me are bats with their fine structured wings and unusual ability to navigate in the dark”, she continues to say that “This led to the core concept and title Echolocation.”

We have loads more pictures from the show on our Flickr, but as always, we like to share but please reference Emerging Fervour as your source, and credits to our photographer, Iman Simon.
