Fashion Director: Joseph Toronka Across the pond, we go (well not literally). LFW may seem less big name heavy than pre-pandemic weeks but I guess that was expected. For me, London is the creative sister of the big four and it sure did not fail to deliver. Even with the scaled-down in person or an increase in the hybrid digital shows, I was glad to be present at events and I finally felt that spirit of fashion solidarity. On the runway, it was the opposite designers went all out to keep our city as the creative lead. It was bright, bold, brazen or fluorescent, floral and fresh. It was London, it was relevant and it evoked a great sense of pride. Here is our trend round-up for the week…!

PAUL COSTELLOE SHOWCASES HIS CREATIVE INSPIRATION WITH A LIVE ATELIER EXPERIENCE & DESIGN SKETCHES FOR S/S 2022Fashion Editor: Savannah Barthorpe
We love it when we got to see Paul Costelloe draw his personal Sketches live at his LFW ss2022 Presentation this season. His sketch illustrates that he hand produce with pen before it heads to his sample unit and created with the chosen fabric. For Spring/Summer 2022, Paul Costelloe has been inspired by the Ancient Celtic Art and Illuminated Manuscript of The Book of Kells. Using his interpretation of the scrollwork designs and microscopic detailing of the Book of Kells, Paul uses bespoke linen fabrics to evoke the feel of the Celtic tradition and a culture long past, which has its place in the turbulence of today. Turning dark times into lighter hopes for the future, the Celtic designs work organically with Paul's use of natural fabrics such as printed and woven linens from Ireland's oldest linen fabric mill William Clark, Emblem Weavers in Wexford, and opulent cotton and woven blends from Italy, all highlighted in magnificent translucent blues. instagram Paul Costelloe Fashion Director: Joseph Toronka “We are back on ….!!!” That’s the cry of the fashion media as NYFW kicked off, but in a post-pandemic world what does that mean for fashion shows. The industry is in a quandary of getting back to where we were before but consciously trying to be relevant in a post-pandemic world. With over a month long programmes of hybrid in-person and digital presentations lined up across four cities, this will be a defining moment for our industry. The success of the reach that digital shows created in the past few seasons against the fanfare of in-person shows will be interesting. What path will designers take in the future? Real time digital accessibility to shows creates instantaneous demand for collections without a doubt. Is the traditional system of forwarding orders from buyers and months of waiting for collections get more contemptuous or will brands increasingly deliver the runway to retail models?. Whatever the outcome I am happy to always be surrounded by the buzz that is the show season, so let your So Edited team guide you through the emerging trends for S/S 22.
