Vogue favourite Louise Goldin showed a “cavalcade of futuristic Eskimos” on the London Fashion Week catwalk. The designer, who caught the eye of the British press after her graduate show at Central Saint Martins in 2005, launched her label on the London stage soon after.
Asked to describe her new new silhouettes and inspiration, the designer quipped all things “innovative, futuristic and luxurious,” such as “Eskimos, the Arctic and Mars.”
The inspiration transpired into face-framing fox fur hoods, techno knis and space-age body armour. Continuing with the futuristic theme, patterns arrived as pixellated zigzags or circuit-board imagery, and the largely greyscale colour palette was accented with peach and tonal blues.
Autumn Winter 2008/09 promises further vivid abstraction and will no doubt please her stockists, which include Browns and Harvey Nichols.
