London Fashion Week is currently underway and I have partnered up with local photographer Gordon Formosa, from GoRaw Photography who is currently in London, to share with you the best of the runway shows.
It's time to report on another fashion from London Fashion Week and this time, the spotlight shines on Richard Malone, who dedicated his collection to his grandmother Nellie Malone who sadly passed away a few months ago.
Richard Malone is known for his colour palette of blues, greens and yellows as well as his ability to translate his inspiration from sculptures seamlessly into fashionable garments. He also derives much of his inspiration from his hometown Wexford in Ireland and the country's rebellious working class teens.
Sweet tributes to his grandmother could be seen in the form of doodles and hand-written notes on the sleeves of mesh tops. He also included subtle hints of corsetry which was a favourite with his grandmother, in the form of ruching and nipped-in waistlines.
The beautiful structures are a testament to Malone's talent with tailoring, however, I felt the collection lacked cohesion and I failed to see how the mix of styles could pertain to a single collection. Nonetheless, even though there were pieces which are better left on the catwalk, some are more wearable and I really fancied the two-part ankle-strap shoes.
