This is a collection that Jonathan Saunders created to prove that he can evolve his design talent from the graphic prints that have become his signature. Not only is he a textile designer but a fabric designer as well and he conveyed the latter in an amazing way this time around.
He decided to go forward in a more seductive vein with looks that reflected the Seventies. What sashayed down the runway were swingy dresses with slashed necklines, done in color-blocked, jewel-toned silks, metallic leather chevron stripes or dense sequins in jade green or deep blue.
The sleek pantsuits worn with chiffon and silk triangle bras were sexy and clean. The models had glossy purple lips and mussed up hair that added the subtle Seventies feel. Jonathan Saunders is no doubt one of London's designers that makes simple look modern, elegant and new. His collections are worth anticipating because of the eye of design he has, for he possesses a real great talent and it shows.
After seeing the mesmerizing colors and prints and pretty ensembles this collection that Jonathan Saunders presented was quite the hit. Nothing more and nothing less elegance that is absolutely feminine. There are some Forties and Fifties influences that projected that out into the fashion world. Sundresses, full or pencil skirts, sensual camisoles, and pajama like shirts give elegance and his signature prints had Indian and Turkish airs in an impressive palette ranging from pastels to acid shades. Saunders experimented with mixing fabrics and textures such as chunky knits with barely there tulle skits, or stiff brocade skirts paired with delicate camisoles. Jonathan Saunders is such a master at blending. And this collection blends really well together!
