Every three months, fashion enthusiasts
gather in the V&A’s Raphael Gallery to experience a new show in the
‘Fashion In Motion’ series.
On Friday 18th November, the show
featured the designer Peter Jensen as he celebrated his ten year anniversary
with a retrospective show. The Fashion in Motion series has featured some of
the greatest designers of our time such as Yohji Yamamoto, Gareth Pugh, Manish
Aurora and others, making the catwalk experience accessible to everyone.
Peter Jensen is a London based designer,
synonymous for his playful, upbeat garments that are bursting with colour and
quirkiness. This is reflected in his prints which are a key feature in his work
and frequently portray brightly coloured narratives. On one hand, Jensen’s garments are practical
and wearable but on the other hand they deftly manage to be highly
unconventional. Perhaps this is due to
the sly appearance of an extra large pom-pom balanced precariously on the top
of a woollen beanie hat or a pair of black sunglasses with rabbit ears and
whiskers attached to them. It is this
mischievous take on fashion that makes his designs all the more desirable.
Who knows what the
next ‘Fashion in Motion’ event will bring?
