CHRISTOPHER RAEBURN : : ‘ASCENT’
Christopher Raeburn - ‘Ascent’
• Launched his collection at London Fashion Week’s HQ in Somerset House’s Courtyard Show Space.

were added for the first time.

gum blue, iridescent holographs, and graphic neon.
• Embellishments included plastic floral appliqués, fake fur and yellow, orange and lime green neon stripes.

Wild florals burst into full bloom for S/S 15. Large in scale and grounded on dark backdrops, the blossoms overlap to create dramatic dimensions. This new floral print looks

Iridescent Shimmer
Lustrous lurex, shimmering lamé and fish-skin-inspired metallic materials shine on S/S 15 catwalks, updating knits, tunics and feminine dresses. Iridescent shimmer adds
surface interest to simple items, becoming one of the most directional material trends for the season.
