Christopher Shannon AW12

Christopher Shannon’s collection was very interesting. Lots of blacks and whites, some onepieces. It was quite streamlined. The Central Saint Martins graduate took inspiration for his collection from Mathieu Kassovitz’s gritty 1995 film La Haine and also from youth culture outside of the United Kingdom.

The models were interesting. I am not sure they were professional. Most of them couldn’t walk and didn’t pose for the press at the end of the catwalk. This added to the air of rebellion and moody youthfulness. Christopher Shannon is one to watch.
