"I'm
obsessed with the idea that numbers and geometry have symbolic and cosmic
value, with the female form being the ultimate cosmic being."

Jean-Pierre Braganza
By: Maddison Brown
As soon as a designer defines a female as, ”the ultimate
cosmic being”, we know we are off to a good start. London Fashion Week kicked
off with Jean-Pierre Braganza’s philosophy on women’s fashion defined for us in
the form of modern, yet edgy designs. Each piece was striking in it’s own way,
with strong yet dark structural presence and generosity in length.
Maxi dresses
with cap sleeves were a consistent style, all featuring bold geometric
patterns. Jean-Pierre didn’t feature a silhouette in the classic way and instead
used these geometric patterns to emulate the look for him. It worked to his advantage,
with many of his constellation cutouts elongating the legs while the harshly
cut shapes managed to soften the shoulders. A few not as popular choices
included his incorporation of Asian cartoon inspired dragons and fantasy
landscapes which were placed upon many of his dresses. Some found this unique
and edgy while many found it tiresome and childish. This diversity in opinion
is what makes fashion so beautifully addicting. All in all an extremely intense
yet intricately designed collection!
