Eudon Choi catwalk show report for LFW A/W 2015

Kicking off the first day of London Fashion Week autumn/winter 2015 with delicate prints and tailoring intrigue was Korean designer Eudon Choi. The powerful and feminine collection was threaded together with pops of bold colour and extended silhouettes.

Deep blue blanket scarves with elongated gleaming white tassels hung across the shoulders and down along the body, whilst sleek flares peeked out beneath, effusing a free-spirited 70s feel. Delicately piecing pink and black, Chinese-style prints were used for long tailored jackets and tops paired with silk flares. Simple shiny sleeveless tops were tied around the waist with oriental-style loose fitting belts.

Clashing circular and blocky colourful square cut-outs were motifs of the collection, with spheres adorning the bottoms of jackets and peeping out the sides of dresses throughout.

A laid-back, worn, grey leather jacket with fur trim and circular cut-out pockets stood out, layered over a thin tight-fitting turtleneck and paired with musky blue patterned flares that looked as though they had come straight out of the film Dazed and Confused. Precision checked tweed jackets with large lapels giving a tailored formality, layered over masculine buttoned-up grey and white shirts.

Long structured silk dresses in blocks of black, golden canary yellow and cerise pink punctuated the collection with billowing structures jutting out across the body, creating a shape much like a flower hanging upside down, showing off Choi’s understanding of tailoring,

Though full of seemingly disparate elements, a hotchpotch of sorts, lacking coherence, there were glimmers of brilliance in the collection’s simmering iridescence and fantasy silhouettes – Eudon Choi will be one to keep an eye on.
