spring collections: julian j. smith, london
by Jeremy Danté
a colorful & metallic juxtaposition of textiles were used for the julian j. smith collection on the runways of london fashion week. use of print was a large element of the collection this season as color brought each look to life. as an outbreak collection of loud style & outrageous concepts, the collection sets itself apart & gives fashion a fun approach. as models walked the runway with visors, the collection allowed itself to become defined as spring appropriate. i would’ve liked to see the collection take on more of an imaginative feel & really stretch the limits beyond what we expect of runway collections. that said- solid collection overall; cohesive from start to finish & bold use of color & cut. i anticipate what the label will present for the fall.
