Louise Goldin Autumn/Winter 2010 Womenswear Collection from London Fashion week.
“Stunning” was the general consensus after Louise Goldin’s show. Following the sugary tones of her spring summer collection, autumn winter brought a dark palette of deep fern green and blue.
Structured peplum hips and rigid shoulders were scaled with leather and patent strips. Serious winter colours were given a flash of unexpected brightness from yellow or red shorts peeking from beneath short hemlines.
It was still sci-fi in inspiration but where in the past Goldin’s wow factor was her masterful knitting techniques – at the risk of wearability – now it is her saleable separates.
The beauty of Goldin’s pieces is that – true – not everyone would be daring enough to attempt them, and quite frankly not everyone would even want to. But for those who love a strong, futuristically gothic look – they’re three dimensional, textured perfection.
