The collection focuses on clean silhouettes to display her
prints and cloth to the best advantage.
And there were prints galore!
Newsprints, abstract graphics, quilted devore and Gray’s own
doodles.
Picture images Andy
Warhol style along with slogans of ‘Choose’ and ‘Good Times’
Soft breezy bias cut
silk dresses are given an edge with newspaper print and open slashes along the
seams.
As in the past, this collection confirms Gray’s love of
textures and colours:
A monochrome varsity jacket covered with an embroidered
overlay in a splash of bright orange. A silky
sheen skirt in aqua adorned with silver leather panel inserts. The classic white
shirt is given an update with a black splatter print.
This dress shows
Gray’s use of different fabrics, patterns and colours to create a collage of
fun and style. A mix of sequinned,
ribbed and chiffon fabrics, plus zigzags, dots and geometric patterns with
bright accents of colour.
Simple monochrome gingham dresses and skirts are hardly
recognisable covered in raw edged appliqué
Mirrored discs on pastel lilac bring out the 60’s super summer
disco vibe.
Rolled up fabric stitched on to tops and dresses add 3D lines
Gray’s signature knitwear is never boring. This season fine lace
knit panels marry with chunkier knits, and monochrome with bright colours.
The collection includes a collaboration with Barbie as Gray
created three main looks including a 21st Century version of Barbie’s first dress
seen through Louise’s eyes.
You’d be forgiven for thinking pink but the first piece of
clothing Barbie ever wore was a black and white swimsuit which Gray has carried
through for her Barbie look.
Although pink does make a brief appearance as badges
decorating the monochrome graffiti tee
Collaborations were with:
Mirrored hats with silhouette cutaways including think
bubbles, bows and the derby hat by milliner Stephen Jones
Colour block and patterned flat derby shoes and peep toe
wedges by Robert Clegerie
Perspex geometric earrings by Tatty Devine. And check out
those gigantic mirrored rings with slogans of HOT, WOW, WHAT NOW to name a few.
