Basso & Brooke triumph at London Fashion Week E-mail
Monday, 19 September 2005

How do Basso & Brooke find the time to design when there illustrative work must require 'round the clock drawing? The Fashion Fringe winners replaced their controversial images of sprouting genitalia and instead concocted the most exquisite prints and colours imaginable.

Layered ra-ra dresses, theatrical eveningwear and even a nod to Mini Mouse with bow-tie headgear and frilly tulle socks couldn't take away the awe of these two talented designers. Black and white graphic ruched dresses were worthy of any red carpet moment, as were the strapless dresses in graphite or white yellow print.

Spanish parasol dresses in vivid colours of bright fuchsia and yellow shown in the finale were pure Dior-style theatrics. Still, the eighties silhouette of power-dressing made a return, albeit in a softer cut. Rock n roll leggings were teamed with waistcoasts or smouldering chiffon tops. All wearable, all distinctly Basso & Brooke.
