Edeline Lee SS16

Wedged away on narrow Flitcroft Street, the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms are an Edwardian art studio that once supplied London's West End theatres with painted theatrical backdrops. Today the building still serves as a studio for resident artists, as well as a unique exhibition space. During London Fashion Week, said space was taken over by fashion PR agency The Wolves for no fewer than nine SS16 presentations.

Among those designers making best use of the building's heritage was Edeline Lee, whose colourful collection was complemented by the generous splashes of paint across the walls and floors. The overall aesthetic of her SS16 collection seeds from two artistic influences - firstly the "Ocean Park" series by American painter Richard Diebenkorn, then the postermodernist and asymmetric designs of the Memphis Group, culminating in a cordial contrast of pastel nuances and striking geometric prints.

YMC SS16

Much to my embarrassment, I may have forgotten to blog about a few of the fashion shows I saw this summer at London Collections: Men. I take so many photos, often hundreds, the thought of sitting down at my computer to sift through them all isn't especially exciting, hence some remain buried and forgotten - for a time - in the dark depths of my hard drive. (I'm a bad blogger, I know.)

YMC was one such show - thirty new menswear looks for Spring/Summer 2016, a handful of which are pictured here. The collection is unquestionably summery, comprising tailored shorts, short-sleeved shirts, lightweight jackets and straw bowler hats. I suppose I wouldn't describe it as a vibrant collection, nevertheless each outfit had been arranged with colour co-ordination in mind. The first looks on the runway sampled a palette of blues and greys, followed by forest green, black, grey again, and finally returning to blue. In parts of the collection, YMC designer Fraser Moss incorporates a unique print overlaying camouflage with polka dots, made also into handkerchiefs for the official SS16 show invitations.
