With Peaches Geldof, Jemma Kidd and Nicola Roberts all sitting pretty in the front row of the On|Off Presents… show, it was obvious I wasn’t the only one eager to see the showcase of On|Off’s best exhibitors during this one unique catwalk collection.
Peaches and her friend, both in matching stripy shirts and clutching disposable cameras, seemed to have quite a bit to smirk at during the first two presentations from Alexander Koutny and Rozalb de Mura. Very avant-garde and innovative, others may agree they represent an acquired taste. But the adventure and experimentation that they brought to the stage was something I was happy to see and had expected more of in London.
However, it seems everyone had the taste for Mark Fast- the purveyor of perhaps the sexiest knitwear in the world. The front rows were mesmerised by the fascinating fluidity of his intricately hand-knitted pieces, promising that this young Canadian is on the fast-track to sure success.
