Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Fall / Winter 2015

LONDON — Part of what distinguishes Fashion Week in London from its counterparts is the adventurous staging embraced by its designers. Last season for example, Thornton Bregazzi presented his collection for Preen in the atrium of the City of Westminster College. Unorthodoxy is badge this label proudly wears and early Sunday morning at Pancras Square was no exception. A curving, sublevel open-air walkway with an illuminated wall served as the site for the runway that seemed to go for miles, but also and rather democratically offered nearly everyone with a seat assignment a front row berth. The collection for autumn couched its enthusiasm for florals in a darkly vibrant palette as well as graphic black and white print. Blown-out hair by Syd Hayes boosted the volume of each look immeasurably whilst providing an overall sensuous touch. On the chilly morning near King’s Cross Dani Witt, Hedvig Palm, Ola Rudnicka, Maja Salamon, and Yuan Bo Chao all featured on the runway.
