Jonathan Saunders Summer 2016

LONDON — Sunday’s program continued midday with the Jonathan Saunders Summer 2016 runway show staged at Kings Cross underneath a cloudless sky. On the afternoon Polish newface Klementyna Dmowska opened the show, thereby continuing the pace set by the day’s earlier show. Fitting, then there was so much sunlight for a runway built especially to shine and illuminate this colorful collection so characteristic of its talented designer. The custom structure was essentially a glass house (albeit made of clear vinyl) with mirrored panels at various angles punctuating the meander of a runway. The prints and colors of the collection popped something extraordinary against the blue skies reflected at points along the runway’s edge. With Klementyna leading the line, a further five models at Next including Hedvig Palm, Lineisy Montero, Olivia Jansing, Liza O, and Julia Fleming followed. Sunday was only beginning to take form.
