During this season’s London Fashion Week, I was fortunate enough to be able to model for some upcoming designers who were listed to showcase at this year’s Salon Showcase, hosted by none other than fashion designer and consultant Jane McMillian for her magazine, JANE. Magazine.
Jane originally launched her brand, “Mac Milligan”, back in 1997 and, throughout the years, has attracted many clients, including the likes of Dannii Minogue, Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud and many others. She’s also attracted royal figures, such as Diana, Princess of Wales.
Abbie, the creative director for Abbie Jarvis, was one of the designers whom I was fortunate enough to be able to model for. Her bold and charismatic designs are based on the juxtaposition of heritage and modernism. From using traditional fabrics such as tweed to experimenting and contrasting with unconventional techniques, colours and fabrics, such as artificial/synthetic hair, Jarvis celebrates family, heritage and tradition alongside innovation and exploration.
There were many favourites, but if I had to pick a few, it would have been the coat (that I wore!), the blue top, and the synthetic hair necklace piece, which was probably my most favourite, along with the synthetic hair waist bag that I modelled.
There was something new and striking about incorporating synthetic hair as an innovative piece.
Chloe Adams’ collection focused on the effortless nature of her print designs, with her illustrations being heavily inspired by her grandmother. Adams created her Toile de Joy using a wide range of mediums, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, digital print and embroidery, alongside traditional methods such as hand drawing and watercolour.
My favourite was the satin-blue, lightly patterned dresses, balancing effortlessness with luxury and elegance.
