Time Destroys All Things

AW 11 Styling/ photography: Mr James

''So called ‘austerity’, the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction.”

Wyndham Lewis

This was my interpretation of AW2011, an ostentatious showcase of timeless leather, fur, and wool with leftover summer lace to contrast the hyperfunctional, piecemeal aesthetic of Mad Maxian austerity.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with the way we live.�

Coco Chanel

It is the job of fashion to provide an escape, to let unbridled fantasy and creativity run riot, safe in the knowledge that even in the age of austerity it is romance, opulence and individuality which will prevail.
