Think 1960’s, Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon – this is one
groovy collection.
Titled ‘L’Unite de Temps et L’Espace’ (Unity of Time and
Space), Garvida reflects on this revolutionary period when women experienced
the sense of empowerment and dressed accordingly.
Garvida keeps some of his pieces true to the plain simple 60’s
shift style but with bold geometric patterns to create the unity of time and
space.
For the evening, this unity is shown as light and shade in
the form of tiny round mirrored pieces radiating a 60’s disco vibe.
On others the play of shadow and light is from the shiny and
matt satin damask prints.
Texture and glamour are also added by the lace overlays and
of course Garvida’s signature sequins.
The main colour palette is monochrome black and white again representing
light and shade.....
.....with accents of neutral beige and cream.
Garvida’s love of animal print is there in a bold and
abstract monochrome leopard print.
The key feature which definitely couldn’t be ignored on the
day of the catwalk show was the oversized shell like discs adorning one dress
and skirt....
– especially as they jangled noisily with every move the models
made. Definitely not to be worn for a
clandestine rendezvous!

Angold compliment Garvida’s collection with bangles and necklaces made of laser
cut acrylic layers, some 3 dimensional like ruffles, others laid flat inspired by graphic shapes and both playing on
the light. www.sarahangold.com
Shoes by Kat Maconie carry on the geometric architectural
shape to the footwear with great angular platform and heels
Hairstylists used on the models? Vidal Sassoon of course.

I like the geometrical shapes, really nice and I would love a dress like this for office.
