Jonathan Saunders: A Bright Geometry The rainbow of shades on the pillars that pierced the catwalk sent an instant message that Jonathan Saunders was building his show on colour. And pattern. Dresses and jackets with swirly waves of red competed for attention with straight lines of similar brightness. Picture credit: Indigital Colour might curl across the body of a dress in waves of orange, blue and silver. Most evident was a visual rupture, when straight lines bisected circles of colour. As a geometric statement using set square and compass, it was an impressive exercise. But there was something awkward about the show – and not just the lace-up boots that had the models wobbling past each chromatic pillar.

But too much artistry and not enough down-to-earth clothing may make for wardrobe complications. (责任编辑:admin) |
