Maria Grachvogel A/W11 London

Maria Grachvogel’s show was held in the Savoy Hotel ballroom, which made a beautiful setting with a lovely calm atmosphere despite the usual melee. The clothes in her collection were, as always, sleek, fluid and subtle. There were lots of lovely sheath dresses and tunics, some soft wide trousers, the loosely fitting fabrics draping beautifully over the body, and this movement was echoed by the soft necklines and the watery patterns. As with other designers, I didn’t feel this was a particularly wintry look, apart from the big white coat. My favourite was the orange dress I’ve featured two photos of below.  The models had a strong look with almost dark blue lips and severe hair but still managed a confident, elegant slouch around the room.
