London Fashion Week – Bernard Chandran



To be honest, I don’t always get to spend my Friday evenings in company of Malaysia’s “Prince of Fashion” but luckily LFW was calling and I got to see Bernard Chandran’s catwalk show at ON|OFF last night.

There are some collections that could just move into my wardrobe, right from the runway. And then there are others that need a bit more attention. Bernard Chandran’s collection is the second one. I enjoyed the show very much. I did have to pay close attention to the clothes as the collection ranges from very strong shapes with masks and studded corsets to feminine, floaty dresses. These are what I would call grown-up clothes.
His collection features some very avant-garde pieces that include the aforementioned face masks and head pieces in shape of a fish. The colours range from dark greys/black to decked beige shades and dirty whites and to vibrant orange and blue. I could definitely see that Bernard draws a lot of influences from his cultural background and probably what surrounds him.
And I like men who dress women in strong yet feminine clothes – there really is nothing more flattering.
Fun fact of the night: I got to witness three major catwalk blunders –
Wardrobe malfunction (Booby alert! And I accidentally took a picture……..)
The stumbling model (She kept her cool, though.)
Going, going, gone headpiece (The model graciously carried it for the rest of the runway, Tyra would’ve approved!)
