John Rocha A/W2012 London

Sometimes it’s difficult to interpret into words the multiple combinations of cut, seaming, fabric and detail visible on the clothes close up, but I think my photos below give a pretty good idea.  This was a collection with a lot going on.  Ok, it was mostly all in black, but silks, satins, sheers, matts, knits and lace were all combined with big-scale belts, heavy footwear, kooky bags to create quite a show.  There was an interesting contrast between the big voluminous body-disguising looks and the clingy dresses and trousers with flashes of skin although neither particularly wearable.
