I have not taken many photos at the London Fashion Week shows I have attended, and it is about time I did. Here are some photos from Mark Fast’s catwalk show at London Fashion Week, held inside the show space at Somerset House. The collection featured some truly gorgeous dresses – particularly the ones in a beige/greyish tone, as seen in the photos below. They look elegant and exquisitely crafted.
Mark Fast’s Autumn/Winter 2011 (AW11) collection was a bold and dynamic showcase of his signature knitwear, with an emphasis on movement, texture, and body-conscious silhouettes. The collection drew inspiration from powerful, independent women, combining sculptural elements with a raw, urban edge.
Key Features of Mark Fast’s AW11 Collection:
- Fringed Detailing: Fast incorporated dramatic, free-flowing fringes that enhanced movement and added a sense of fluidity to the garments.
- Tactile Knitwear: His signature intricate, hand-knitted designs featured cut-outs and web-like patterns, staying true to his body-contouring aesthetic.
- Dark and Earthy Tones: The colour palette was rich and moody, with deep blacks, warm neutrals, and earthy hues, exuding a sophisticated yet rebellious feel.
- Strong, Feminine Silhouettes: Fast experimented with volume while maintaining his signature figure-hugging shapes, creating a striking contrast between structure and fluidity.
- Tough yet Sensual Aesthetic: The collection blended femininity with an almost tribal, warrior-like essence, making a statement about strength and sensuality.
The AW11 collection further established Fast’s reputation for redefining knitwear, proving that it could be both luxurious and provocative.
