Alexa Chung goes 'off the grid', Holland dresses 'global citizen' at London Fashion Week

Model, presenter-turned-designer Alexa Chung went back in time for her second catwalk show in London on Saturday, showing a collection inspired by the idea of a group of women escaping to California’s Big Sur in the 1980s to go “off the grid”.

Chung, a long-time darling of the British fashion industry with a Mulberry handbag named after her, turned to 1983, the year she was born, for the autumn/winter 2019 line presented on the second day of London Fashion Week.

In a bunker-like setting with the odd sprout of greenery on the catwalk, models wearing black shiny leather outerwear opened the show, soon giving way to delicate prairie dresses and ruffled tops.

There were also herringbone suits — long jackets worn with cropped trousers, green velvet ensembles and prints, floral or cow skin-like, on tops, dresses and outerwear.

“I haven’t been interested in prettiness for a long time, and the world doesn’t look saccharine and innocent to me anymore,” Chung, who launched her eponymous brand in 2017, said in a statement.

“So here we are with “Off The Grid” - a gaggle of women have retreated but there’s safety in numbers. They’re regrouping and plotting somewhere on the West Coast where nature is so beautiful and big ... Deep beneath the soil, in an underground bunker a new form of beauty is preparing to grow up.”

Adding to the natural theme, models wore headscarves and light makeup. Chung’s colour palette consisted of earthy and dark tones: navy, green, yellow, pale brown, black and white.

Accessories included studded collars, extra long colourful knit scarves, ankle bracelets, platform shoes and wedge sandals decorated with bows and wrapped around the ankle.

Designer Molly Goddard, known for her colourful eye-catching tulle dresses, said her clients would “stomp through the storm” next winter in her taffeta frocks, pinstripe suits and bright argyle knits.

Her show at London’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office featured models in dresses varying in length and style — jacquard, colourful knit, with knotted bows and see-through.

Some dresses had large collars and came in shades of green, pink, lilac, yellow and darker tones. Models also wore balaclavas, scarves wrapped around the neck and lace-up boots.

House of Holland described its “Global Citizen” collection of quilted orange check jackets, asymmetric skirts and blue tie dye outfits as an “utilitarian uniform for a generation who feel increasingly unheard, misrepresented and angry at the way their world is being governed.”

Designer Henry Holland said he used traditional Cambodian techniques for printed tunics and trousers, and models also wore belted outerwear, coats with large military style pockets, denim suits and pussy bow neck blouses.

Accessories included quilted berets and hiking boots.

Meanwhile, label Preen by Thornton Bregazzi opted for retro floral prints and layered skirts inspired by dance and music.

At Preen, designer duo Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi said their show was “inspired by the culture of dance and music and the impact it has had on us.”

The show opened with floral prints decorating outerwear and asymmetric layered skirts, before moving on to 1980s style silhouettes - round, open neck décolletés and exaggerated shoulders.

The outfits were accessorised with a type of harness on top, with rosette decorations and ribbons flowing at the side, sometimes with small backpacks.

Patterned silk shirts were frilly, fitted tops revealed mid-riffs and knits were also cropped, while coats were voluminous.

Models wore blue tights and clog-like shoes and for the evening, shiny black or lace dresses were on show, some in lace and see-through in red, with a sparkly evening version of the harness.
