MBFWA: FDS Innovators Group Show

The Innovators group show held annually at MBFWA is consistently one of my favourites, as it highlights the industries fresh blood and their creative vision. This years outstanding brands for me were:

ODD

Focus on colour, playful patterning, layering & 'geek-chic' style, set ODD apart on this runway. Love the embellished gloves & socks with kitten heels - quirky & cute, and almost giving me Gucci vibes.

 SHROUD THE LABEL

Exaggerated puffs, ruffles, flowing dresses and plastic were central motifs for Shroud's collection this year. Sticking to a muted palette of pastel blue, beige & cream, voluminous jackets and dresses rolled down the runway to cool-girl tunes. Shroud has come into it's own in the world of design, wowing spectators of the show (especially over the velvet puffer jacket).

ZRD

Bubblegum electric, meets 70's hippy, meets rainbow unicorn. ZRD were fulfilling my Romy & Michelle's highschool reunion fantasy with this vibrant collection. Models stomped the runway in dip-dyed faux fur, leather pants, bondage accessories and pom-pom headphones to a backing track of synth pop music. It was everything you could want for bright and OTT dressing - in love!

Congratulations to all the young designers who showcased - such a pleasure to be a part of the Innovators xxx
