I think that indeed, regardless of the intention - which is slightly too 'formal' for my taste, it's very refreshing to finally see a fashion designer who creates with a political statement. It seems the designs could have been pushed a bit further (they remain a little on the 'historicizing' side), it's great to think again about gender, practicality, and workwear.

No doubt very expensive 'socalist style' clothes being promoted at a property development by londonewcastle - one of the most rapacious north london developers of recent years, who despite their much hyped 'design' ethos have yet to produce anything other than the usual humdrum barratt -style fodder. All leaves a rather bad taste in the mouth. She's got one thing right though: it certainly does question our values and aspirations - though I suspect not in the way she intends.
