It’s no doubt Peter Ingwersen had the recession in mind when designing his latest collection.
The Noir/Bllack Noir show took a sombre tone with a dulled palette of grey, black and navy with the recurring juxtaposing of masculinity and femininity for an androgynous, hard-as-nails look. The contrast filtered into the combination of textures too, as silk chiffon, jersey, leather and wool worked together to form slim silhouettes with harsh outlines. Accessories were kept minimal with simple black leather gloves leaning towards goth-rock chic.
A burst of colour came in the form of a light blue silk printed minidress, flirtatiously worn with a black bow at the waist, but by far my favourite piece in the collection were the leather knee-high waders – amazing!
