Dive into POINT BLANK's SS17 collection inspired by Hockney's Bigger Splash


Models wandering aimlessly, casually having a cocktail from a trolley may not immediately transport the audience to California, albeit inspiration for the latest Dive-In collection by London brand Point Blank was from the 1967 David Hockney painting - The Bigger Splash (currently owned by Tate Britain), according to the design duo behind the brand - Yanyu Chung and Adrienne Lau.




But with provocative music by Thomas Grandjean, the presentation did provide a dreamy atmosphere for the Dive-In collection of colour-blocked poolside retro style, featuring sporty separates, tropical foil prints along with neon signs with the word Paradise sprayed across bright tops.

Lace inserts, glittering sequins and asymmetric swimsuits with cut-outs completed the range.

Held at the Freemasons Hall as part of Fashion Scout's offering during London Fashion Week, the 14-minute show recurred continuously for an audience that could wander in and out during a two hour period allocated to the brand.  The show may leave you feeling a bit intoxicated.
