LFW Runway Report: Markus Lupfer Spring 2016

It’s always so much fun to see a Markus Lupfer presentation. He never loses his sense of humor and always presents at the coolest venues, and for Spring he took us to the posh One Horse Guards Avenue in London and showed us his idea of the fertile deserts of Mexico. The idea of endless arid landscapes interrupted by lush nature inspires an image of playful versus moody femininity, reflected in a colour palette of hard blacks against taupes, light pinks, and motifs of cacti with flowers.

Clean A-line shapes play canvas to the flora and fauna of dry climates, with cacti woven graphically in sheer fil coupé and similarly transformed into a print version. Rich florals appear throughout the collection, in placement prints featuring graphic flowers on stripes, embroidered on a sheer organza bomber and skirt, and in a rustling 3D sequin embellishment resembling a blooming desert, echoed in shoes.
