Xiao Li's A/W15 show provoked different responses yesterday morning - taking a closer look at mass consumerism, questioning the effects of fashion in today's society and creating a genuinely interesting and innovative collection.
Predominately using dark purples , blues and pops of neon orange I felt that the restriction of colour only added to the appeal of the show.
I was intrigued by the shape and fit of the garments: that seemed to simply hang off the models in such a beautiful and artistic way.I loved the ironic use of the " Keep Healthy! Avoid Fashion!" slogan emblazoned onto many of the pieces.
I think that the contrast between the silicon and heavy knitted fabric was really quite special-the mixture of these materials created quite a futuristic feel.
I also liked the balance of masculine/ feminine energy as both women and men walked the runway.
I admired that Xiao Li had begun to look at mass consumerism; it surrounds the fashion industry yet it is a widely avoided subject by designers as not to upset the industry's "elders".
To be honest I don't fully know the meaning behind this show but that is what I have drawn from it - I think it would be really interesting to hear what Xiao Li herself would say about her collection.

I would like to thank Xiao Li and her press team for inviting me down to London for the show but unfortunately , I couldn't make it due to the overwhelming amount of preparation that is required for my GCSE art exam tomorrow.
I am in the midst of extreme procrastination - hence this post.
