Richard James - Spring/Summer '15 show at London Collections: Men

Richard James Spring/Summer '15 Desert Rats show at London Collections: Men. House edit. 16th June 2014. At BMW i Park Lane, 70 Park Lane, London W1K 7TT. DESERT RATS Our Spring/Summer ’15 collection contemplates the irresistible, all-engulfing infinity of the Sahara desert in the company of a legendary troop of men that effortlessly embodied those fine, defining British qualities of derring-do and dogged determination in the face of the most trying circumstances. Formed in the fluctuating, fast-shifting year of 1938 with the world an uncertain place, the Desert Rats were sent forth to learn the lore of an alluring alien environment and its mystic, meandering tribes-people. Traversing the colour-flecked, coruscating luminescence of the desert by day and the silent, star-lit eternity of it by night, theirs was a study in respect and solicitous assimilation.
