Meadham Kirchhoff London Fashion Week Spring Summer 2014

Monday, September 23, 2013

Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff, the half English, half French duo of fashion label Meadham Kirchhoff presented their spectacular Spring Summer 2014 collection at London Fashion Week recently ..... as the live streaming started, we at this part of the world watched amazed at the absolute theatricality of the Elizabethan inspired school girl look straight out of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland's Red Queen meets modern Street Style mavericks "Chanel meets Birkenstock" look ..... Of course these Central Saint Martins alumnus are already renowned for their presentation of a parallel universe where trends don't matter , their story does .... And their universe of SS 2014 is Mary Poppins gone rogue to a horror soundtrack (apparently from Batman mixed by Jeffery Hinton) .... dead roses on the runway and hanging on to dilapidated wicker fences ... a grey backdrop ..... in contrast to .... girls in flaming ringlet curls adorned with bows by master hair stylist James Pecis, ...... baby doll dresses with lace trimmings, ..... Children story book character bags, ..... knee high school girl socks ... and Alice hats by famous milliner Moody and Farrell !! ..... But for all the theatricality, it was a very Ready To Wear collection ..... and undoubtedly one of the very best ever seen in London Fashion Week this year !! ..... Do have a look :)

The Collection :

Dutch lace babydolls, couture like beaded bias cut gowns, trapeze coats, double breasted blazers, laser cut bunnies and giraffes, milkmaid apron dresses, polka dot and birch tree prints, children story book character bags, Ascot bonnets, snakeskin gloves, batman sunglasses, courtier shoes, bows on curled hair pieces, ...... Spectacular and so innovative !
