Willow

A new Post "Willow" was written on the February 19, 2012 at 5:21 am on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".

Butterflies were the theme du jour at Willow [1], though you wouldn't
necessarily get that just from looking at the clothes. As designer Kit
Willow explained, the inspiration was mainly a conceptual one, but it
trickled down into the collection's circular seaming, cocoon shapes,
and monarch butterfly palette of orange and black. The construction
here was interesting: jackets made using only three arcing seams,
drop-waist skirts with a kind of skeleton of rounded pleats, long
dresses with a winglike flap. Willow's strongest pieces relied on her
very cool French tweed. Two particular standouts were the cocoonish,
dress-up/dress-down coat, faced in leather, that cleverly set the
tweed's stripe against itself, and a seriously chic dress with a
fitted, long-sleeve top and skirt that fell in an off-center cascade.
Elsewhere, Willow used her signature seed beading to graphic effect,
and she cut some very sharp boot-leg trousers. All in all, this was a
very grown-up outing from Willow: The pieces were less flirty than
usual but ultimately very seductive.
