Inspired jersey trend
I am less sure about the stripy jersey jumpsuit, in orange and black it reminds me a little of Halloween inspired pyjamas. And I’m still not sold on this satin short trend; I really don’t think they’re flattering. I also thought Alice Dellal’s velvet number looked cumbersome, but then this may be due to the fact that she was having trouble getting down the runway in it.
It is a really fun collection, blending patchworks with colour and then stylish blacks. There’s just something about PPS that makes you feel cool. And every time I look at this range, I seem to like it even more.
A series of strong silhouettes, including sharp shoulders and jutting hips created powerful shapes down the runway, emulating the hard-edged tailoring seen at Marc Jacobs and (dare I say it?) Victoria Beckham. Splashes of lemon yellow and burnt orange were compartmentalised against dark hues in black leather and heavy wool, creating an 80’s - yes you heard right, 80’s again – flash of leotards, leggings and oversized jackets which were softened by sheer panels and luscious, ragged frills.
Zips featured heavily, securing the backs of shift dresses and high-waisted skirts, adding a touch of sport luxe to the collection, while garments draped around the middle, creating an unusual cowl effect that dissolved the working woman aesthetic .
The drapery of the discount and Inspired jersey and the frills was further explored through Amstrup’s sporadic use of print, which was inspired by German artist Gerhard Richter who created layered, photo realistic paintings. Amstrup’s light use of print created a stark contrast against the rigid tailoring and block shades, however seemed slightly displaced at the end of the collection, as the print covered a flowing, bandeau maxi-dress. As pretty as this dress was, it just didn’t seem to fit with the remainder of the show.
