SWASH

In amongst all the Olympic excitement I am ashamed for not publishing a single post about the new A/W 12 collections... But Swash made up of duo designers Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka have certainly designed one of the most diverse and inspiring collections ignited by Olympic fever. For there A/W 2012 collection it is comprised with numerous motifs that set the guidelines and looks to pay attentions to during a colder months.

On the one hand you have numerous layers topped with playful knit hats- not missing pom-poms! Paradoxically paired with a reminiscent pre-summer floral vibe, soft pastels upon silk, finished off with cable knit jumpers. Allowing for some high-waisted shorts to be worn, as long as you have a thick jumper to keep you warm.


Heritage plays a significant part this A/W collection with dark framed diamond shaped prints, followed uniquely by a talisman motif that is recurrent from this label.



These beautiful tones of blue show homage to the seasons colour, a spectrum from teal to blackcurrant. They certainly haven't lost interest in there accessories with printed rimmed hats and finished off with leather gloves.
It would certainly be hard to find an element of next seasons hypes that Swash have missed! The repeated motif appearing on scarfs to cushion covers show the extent to which the print can be used and rotated into various dimensions.

The gothic is focused highlighted and dramatised with tight leggings and fringing. Various styles and layers are juxtaposed with this chain imagery across the black fabric.

Fairytale esk sketches outlined with cherry red and warm mustard yellow, whats not to like!! This collection has ignited my longing to start university in September specialising on fashion for print, when a collection is executed as stunningly as this.
