Showstoppers F/W 06.07: Preen

Another great example of how London Fashion Week is really bursting back into the scene is the Preen show of coming Autumn. It was a minimalistic collection, with a lot of basic colours, excellent tailoring and geometric shapes.


Designer duo Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thorton took their inspiratian from an early nineties photograph by Mario Testino featuring Nadja Auermann.


Overall, their main focus was on the waist. Clever tricks of wrapping and tieing the fabrics around the waist gave a very feminine and modern silhouette on this seasons Preen runway.


Colourwise, they started of with beige and greyish tones. A bit metallic as well. As the collection developed, red pieces started to take the runway and there were also some reallt great black numbers. Such as this excellent coat above.


The coat below is my favourite piece of the collection. It is very elegant, a bit fifties and perfectly not over the top. I am hoping that Preen will amaze me again next season. I am almost sure they will, with London fashion week growing and growing.
