LFW – Basso and Brooke

As the first model strutted out, a bold splash of pattern came bursting out and it was gorgeous. There was a mix of dogtooth, stripes and chain pattern all on one blazer with a matching shirt and trousers which were red and black vertical ombre.

Full on to say the least, but this was Basso and Brookes signiture look, a mish mash of crazy patterns which they pull off to make the most incredibly stylish pieces. Each very individual, there were patterns which reminded me a bit of Marni and Pierre Hardy. The tailoring was to perfection with darts cleverly placed and folded in the right places. Every colour you could imagine was featured in their collection, from lightning bolt yellow to aqua blue and pillar box red it was something you couldn’t miss. Wide calf length trousers billowed whilst paired with knitted jumpers which were effortlessly elegant .

Later on there were jumpsuits covered in a spotted light print using a silk satin which was glamourous and fell beautifully off the body. The show was a brilliant array of colour, pattern and tailoring which was easy to wear and not too over the top.
