AV Robertson Autumn / Winter 2016

LONDON — Less than 48 hours had elapsed between the last time stylist Katie Grand and a quartet of models at Next including Lineisy Montero, Anna Cleveland, Lili Sumner, and Grace Hartzel were together readying for a runway show. The difference in scale between Thursday evening’s Marc Jacobs show and Saturday morning’s debut collection by Amie Robertson could not have been more pronounced, however the two occasions were united by passion and creative vision. Robertson went to work for Marc Jacobs as a design assistant in October 2014 after graduating with a BA in Fashion Print from Central Saint Martins. The American designer himself was seated front row at the Fashion East Autumn / Winter 2016 runway show during which Robertson presented her debut collection that was big on embroidered embellishments and asymmetrical cuts. Fashion Week in London looks to have gotten off to a flying start.
