The St Martins MA fashion course is known for launching success stories including Peter Jensen, Christopher Kane and Ann-Sofie Back -hence why the crowds turned out in force this morning at The British Fashion Council tent to see the fresh talent of this year's 19 graduates. The showcase opened in neons (yes, more!) before exploring other concepts such as clever pleating -as pictured here- by Mattijs Van Bergen.

...the one collection that caught my eye and stood out in my opinion was the pleats ....it was rather 'un-usual', well balanced and executed...that caught my eye also because it was also very refined and modern in approach ....and very very wearable.....
Somehow on the whole it seemed to have been an ' emphasis' on producing 'ready to wear' garments......and indeed as it was already mentioned .....the collections were rather tamed in spirit for St. Martins.......
I missed the experimenting with more daring fabrics.....and the ongoing and exciting 'quest ' for new new silhouettes...however increasingly difficult it might be.......and......I also noticed quite a bit of retro interpreted in prints and form literally......
I assume they all tried their very best....that is the positive side.....and last but not least that there were a lot of details that could in itself become the spear point for a new collection .....
