Peter Pilotto _ London Fashion Week

The Peter Pilotto S/S 2013 Collection definitely sprung-my-spring this year round, as some people might have mistaken the duos collections in the past with various designers such as Mary Katrantzou and Roksanda Ilincic, due to their precision work with print technology. They have set themselves apart from the fash-pack this time round, thanks to perfectly executed garment construction and innovative design.

Initially I was a bit conflicted as to the pairing of these micro-min peplums together with slacks. Then as I flicked through my mental-files on fit & proportions, I came to the realisation that fashion has come to the point where all rules possible have been broken, so fundamentally the marriage between these high-waisted pants, ranging from pajama-ramas to taut-fitted leggings, are the textbook[unwritten that is] combination for the summer.

With 50 shades of grey making circles in the sand, Mr. Pilotto on the contrary has never shied away from colour; this statement can be supported by the abundant use of red, which set the stage on fire in London.

 

With a clear-cut sense of futuristic motives, exclusively incorporated into their blouses, walking the plank, I would even dare to say that Katy Perry will undoubtedly be spotted, togged up in something simliar if not the real deal. Regarding the skirts, they have taken the conventional pencil skirt fit, on the hips and waist, then to add a sense of friskiness with drastic flair or contradicting fullness around the knee. The thigh-high slits and plunging V-necks coming into play add that much needed crumb of sex appeal.

With their use of exploding colours, print and texture, not one minute went to waste when viewing these “tour de force” creations. Until next season comes around to prove me wrong, I have pushed my chair back, risen to my feet and given the Peter Pilotto S/S 2013 pret-o-porter collection a standing-O.
