London Fashion Week: Paul Costelloe's young new look

Who doesn’t love Paul Costelloe? Fashion Buyer has been lucky enough to attend a few editions of LFW’s traditional opening show, but never one as edgy as this. For, while Mr C tends to cater quite commercially for his grown up (and sometimes stately) customer base, this time round he injected a teeny-bopping rock vibe to proceedings, with his oversized bows, flared mini skirts and tulip party dresses. Worn with biker jackets and in a palette of glitzy silver and pretty pink, as well as fresh white and minty green, this was for the young-at-heart. Among the flirty babydoll and maxi dresses were padded biker dresses and pink florals.

Young? Yes. Fun? Certainly. But unsophisticated? Not a bit of it. The Irish designer pulled on every ounce of his skill with brocade finishes, sculpted peplums and diamond quilted reinforcements among the details.Source URL: http://icip2idayusof.blogspot.com/2010/09/london-fashion-week-paul-costelloe.html
