Flexible Factory is a LCF initiative to showcase
flexible learning in a more proactive way. Through a Pop-up shop at the Plaza, Oxford Street It brought together Fashion Media, Fashion Design Realisation, and Part-time Fashion Business, which I am enrolled. The Factory culminated to a flash mob
catwalk
show over two floors; an original catwalk which started on the ground floor, proceeded up the escalators, then back down the spiral stairs. The models resembled the Lanvin army, but bearing blond wigs, with a single coloured stripe, keeping the focus to the clothes. Overall the designs I was most excited about was actually the designer that closed the show
Sam Parsons; I love how fashion can come from anywhere, as he was able to take inspiration from being a past zoologist. He managed to take an element of a fish skin pattern, and make it look luxurious and expensive with expertly crafted draping.
Amy Brawnopened the show, with her re- intepreation of a typewriter, making something ordinary, in to a series of graphic prints, on goddess-like garments.
The popular trend in the presentation seemed to be about playing with volume, and
shape, and you could tell the designers thought about how their clothes would move down the runway.
Stella Menherre opted for cool sportswear, whilst
Madalena gave us oversized shoulders. and Agnleszka Poclecha’s red garments definitely did not blend in to the background, with her imaginative trapeze like pear, fully equipped with keyhole.
