London Fashion Week SS12 Round-Up: Exotic

Next up on our Spring/Summer 2012 trend agenda is exotic, travel-inspired womenswear. A trip to Indonesia made an impression on Peter Pilotto which manifested in scuba style suits, dresses and separates with oversize black zips. There was definitely a holiday feel to the collection with tropical floral embroidery, nautical rope prints, and prints in paradise reds and pacific blues. Sharp cutting and perspex heeled shoes added modernity to the collection.

The go-to designer for summer beachwear is of course Matthew Williamson, but the fashion press were somewhat surprised by his new interpretation of the Spring/Summer season. Signature Williamson sarong style skirts, chiffon blouses and colourful floral prints still featured, but juxtaposed with sharp blazers, trousers and shorts the collection retained a summer in the city feel. Japanese blossom prints, ostrich feathers, and shell encrusted bags added an exotic edge to the vibrant palette of coral, orange and green.

 Sharp tailoring also featured alongside Japanese prints in Julien Macdonalds collection which has been described at a fusion of Montecarlo and Japan. Blue dragon prints, delicate embroidery and origami tailoring are fused with ultra glamorous floor length gowns, metallic dresses, feminine fringing and oversized sunglasses.
