London-based designer ApuJan’s AW16 collection presentation was
certainly a show not to be missed. The presence of live music set a poetic tone of the show yesterday as one of the highlights of this season’s Fashion Scout event at Freemason’s House in Covent Garden.
Many of models had their faces obscured by oversized crochet bucket hats with a loose scalloped brim.
The collection featured rose and floral prints as well as chunky knits for a chic interpretation of a feminine silhouette with long flowing shapes.
Colours were mainly grey, blue and black, with occasional injection of bright blue and coral. The use of textured knitting techniques featuring knitwear of varying weights as well as the emphasis on the feminine bodice display the designers understanding of the importance of modern comfort.
Not only were the clothes enticing, the models strode down the runway accompanied by sultry and soulful music.
Led by singer Olivia Yan accompanied by a violinist and a
cellist, the performance of five scores by the Taiwanese musicians was enhanced by the skilful talent of
DJ Stephen.
According to the musicians, the band was formed specifically for ApuJan's catwalk show, under the name of Project APJ but they have put out a couple of albums already and can be contacted on their website.
