London Fashion Week’s prints charming, took a subtle approach to textiles this season. Embracing twentieth century surrealism and modernism, Glaswegian- born Saunders kept to a restrictive colour palette; graphic black and white, glacial ice blue, stone and ice grey. His signature prints were collated from an eccentric mix including a pheasant’s plumage, linear abstractions and ‘cracked’ effects at the hemlines of silk-layered skirts, strict folded-hem shifts and billowing strapless gowns. An ultra-chic black funnel-neck coat accessorised with a surrealist brooch in unglazed white porcelain, paper-fine cashmere turtlenecks, contrast-trim long-line cardigans, and body-contouring hand-crocheted dresses proved a luxe options for day. Cocktail hour dresses and cashmere jackets were adorned with graphic lines of gunmetal pearls, and high-octane laser-cut chiffon dresses in nude and an arresting flash of scarlet epitomised progressive glamour.
