Fashion East Spring 2013 Runway Review

With Barrow, it was all about nouveau punk with wearable pieces with not-so-subtle punk rock references. In her fashion week debut, the designer built on the significant buzz that she garnered from her impressive graduate collection. The looks worked retro shapes alongside rock references for a quintessentially London showing. Adjacent to her presentation was Ryan Lo whose collection could not have been more different. It’s almost difficult to describe Lo’s saccharine collection where every splash of pink was met by a burst of glitter and the models looked like they were attending an event that was a cross between an east London fashion party and a small town junior prom.

Last but not least was current fashion darling, Maarten van der Horst, who is riding the wave of a successful Topshop collaboration. Luckily, he left his Hawaiian prints behind and moved forward to a more urban and print clashing environment. With a great mixture of statement making looks ripe for the editorial pages and wearable pieces for the modern woman, van der Horst proved he’s not a one trick pony with this showing and perhaps next season he’ll break out and show on his own.
