London College of Fashion MA Show 2010
This years LCF MA show had an interesting mix of flamboyant, bright collections and exquisitely structured tailoring, with a generous amount of roadkill and fur thrown in. The widely varying design styles made for a very interesting MA show and showcased an exciting array of mens and womenswear designers to keep your eye out for in the future.
The Collection of the Year Award, presented by the Chairman of the British Fashion Council, Harold Tillman, went to Sven Hoppe, whose futuristic take on classic tailoring made for a memorable eye-catching menswear collection.

Here is a selection of the MA designers, first up is the wonderfully named Merve Tuna, who gets the prize for most controversial collection, as she sent models adorned in what can only be described as roadkill down the runway:

Sophie Condie also referenced the animal kingdom with feathers and bone inspired head pieces:

So Ra Kim seemingly set her collection in disco 3000 as peaches, blues and silvers combined to create this otherwordly collection, which was perfectly complimented by Vivienne Westwood for Melissa plastic shoes:

Soo Youn Seo treated us to the most extreme form of colour blocking, but when you only have a few minutes to impress a room of fashion journalists, impact is best:

A live version of Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ set the tone for Hasan Hajezi’s pop-tacular collection that wouldn’t look out of place on Lady Gaga:

The metallic palette of Jin Joo Ma’s designs mixed 1940’s-esque tailoring with generous amounts of glitter to create an old meets new clash, cumulating in a sophisticated and striking collection:

Great review, and fantastic pictures. There’s more young talent coming together for an interactive installation at the Trafalgar Hotel, to kick off fashion week- with fashion film, fashion illustration, giant dolls and paintings- http://www.jotta.com/magazine/outabout/617/future-form-article
