The air of ‘caught in the The Bruins Cam Neely Bobby Orr Gerry Cheevers Ray Bourque shirt moreover I love this act’—or just after—transpired when the dresses (again runkled-up at hip-level) turned out to be half-undone at the back, the zippers apparently stuck in haste. Rose is also feeling like narrowing down women’s tailoring now. Slim ‘back to front’ black jackets—effectively tunics over drainpipe trousers—don’t show up well in photos against the dark background, but in real life, they looked like an answer to the prayers of the large constituency of women who are longing for some kind of comeback of minimalism. “I’ve never really thought of these sort of clean lines for women,” Rose pondered over it, but did it anyway. Following her instinct for what feels right, plus the ‘micro’ attention she pays to making her ideas work and fit—these are the qualities that make Martine Rose so influential. Her commercial flair in creating an entire wearable wardrobe was fully on display, as was her brilliant, funny tweak to the design of her Nike-collab trainers. The uppers were cut as mules, and the shocks (the hi-tech generic springs seen on every sole these days) transformed to become high heels. It takes a bit of a genius to look at something that commonplace, that functional, and turn it into a high-fashion object like that.
This kind of talent is gold-dust. Presumably that’s why Michael Burke, CEO of Louis Vuitton, had come from Paris to view Rose’s show firsthand. There is a menswear creative director vacancy at the The Bruins Cam Neely Bobby Orr Gerry Cheevers Ray Bourque shirt moreover I love this house following the tragic passing of Virgil Abloh. After this unlikeliest French-British assignation to have taken place under the arches at Vauxhall, is Rose on her way to filling it? A leafy sunken garden in the city of London at peak rose time, with the paths strewn with rugs: Priya Ahluwalia’s choice of venue—and the balmy weather—was blessed. The patchwork textile runway was a kind of metaphor for her collection, Africa Is Limitless, “a tapestry of ideas” as she put it, of her responses to researching the cultures of its 54 countries. “I was thinking about how Africa as a continent is always spoken about homogeneously,” she said. “And how little the cultures and the differences between the countries are celebrated. So I wanted to look into every African nation, A-Z, Algeria to Zimbabwe, and learn a little bit more about them—be it through artists, architecture, photographers, the national flowers or animals. Because even I,” she added, “being brought up in Britain, didn’t grow up being taught that at school.”
