RTW AW10: Tamara Chung @ CSM
I’ve regretted not posting a review of this show, so here I go. The Central Saint Martins’ M.A. Graduate collection is always a landmark of London Fashion Week, with its presentations having real reverberations on the future of fashion: these graduates were established talent with true promise- the cream of the independently emerging crop.
A collection that particularly caught my eye was that of Tamara Chung- her designs were simple, being almost futuristic in their minimalism and structure. Blocked colours and some contrasted detailing emphasised this idea, with asymmetry fusing with clean, set straight silhouettes to form a somehow effortless semblance of classicality and innovation. Here are some of what Chung has come up with, I’m really very pleased:
The colour mix is excellent- I like to see splashes like this because it shows Chung isn’t limiting herself and is free to explore her own boundaries: the use of such a bold colour is rare in the concept of stark minimalism but she does, in my opinion, do it well.
