THE NEW UTILITARIAN

Cropped shirts and moon boots were order of the day at the Xander Zhou show, which was surreally real.

Entitled "I'm carrying a secret Weapon", the young cast stomped up and down the catwalk with attitude befit of someone coming of age, and the oversizing and undersizing of the boxy shapes were like a uniform from Lord of the Flies.

DECONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION AT CHRISTOPHER RAEBURN

You can recognise a Raeburn anywhere! The camoflague print and concealed animals have become a bit of a fashionistas favourite. This season does not disappoint. 

Choosing to work with grey, lime green and navy, the animal of the season is a chameleon, which if you look closely can be found in the range of deconstructed duffel coats, backpacks and knits.

AYE AYE SAILOR 

Or hello Jolly Roger. Belstaff chose to be a bit playful in their styling of the AW17 collection, which took inspiration from the docklands of the British Royal Navy during the second world war.

The usual hardwearing leathers nestled with chunky roll-neck sweaters and striped tees and sea-loving tattoos on the male and female models, who in turn looked like well dressed merchant seamen on their weekend off. 

A teeny bit rebellious with a good dose of adventure, this will be perfect for boys and girls who like staying up late and drinking gin!

CLOTHES WORTH GETTING OUT OF BED FOR

Qasimi's AW17 collection might look super luxe and comforting, but it has a deeper meaning behind the debonair twinsets.

Intending to draw attention to Black Lives Matter, designer Khalid Al’Qasimi cites the 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s iconic 'Bed In' protest, during which the artists spent their honeymoon  in bed for seven days, inviting the press to interview them and promoting world peace, this season, the Qasimi collection has a loose bedroom apparel theme. With pyjama and dressing gown shapes, his customers can choose to protest whenever they wear his clothes. Clever. Yes.
