Mary Benson SS16

The Sun & 13 Cantons pub in Soho was transformed into a paper cavern for Mary Benson's SS16 presentation, scribbles and poetic musings littering the floor. The collection is titled "Letters From The Darkest Corners Of My Heart...", in which the garments - as much as the décor - speak of heartbreak and "love sick intoxicated feelings" through provocative, handwritten notes. Teardrops and weeping mascara are equally prominent imagery in this eccentric collection, seen also in the models' make-up, as well as a collaborative capsule collection of sunglasses by accessories label Tatty Devine, decorated with Swarovski crystal tears.

Clio Peppiatt SS16

"Kiss The Future" by South London womenswear designer Clio Peppiatt is a playful and vibrant SS16 collection, brushed generously with elements of sci-fi and 70s disco. Space-themed motifs and faux fur were combined with snakeskin and leopard prints, where against a backdrop of metallic streamers, retro TVs, glowing cubes and checkerboard flooring, it were as if the models were players in a retro, future-themed arcade game.
