Cobalt Frock

Ong-Oaj Pairam was back at Fashion Scout this year to showcase his third collection. This included both Womenswear and Menswear and he took his inspirations from super-villians.

Ong-Oaj Pairam originally from Thailand studied Fashion Design at Brighton University

Main inspiration for the collection; Ursula from The Little Mermaid and The dark artistry of Charley Harper

Main Colours: Deep purples and Forest Greens interspersed with Neon Orange, Yellows and Cobalt Blue

Fabrics used: Ong prefers British Textiles and a heavy feature was PVC, Hand Embroidery and flowing Silk Gowns

This has been my favourite collection at Fashion Week so far, the collection was beautiful and the staple dark colours of grey and black with flashes of block colour and neons, cobalt blue appear to be a huge trend for AW14. Pairam’s use of neon was inspired by warning colours of exotic animals and the use of PVC and detailing on the more tailored pieces seem to be evocative of his inspiration Charley Harper. Some stunning flowing gowns mixed with tailored twin sets and the highlight of the show was the Neon Orange Mens Edge to Edge jacket.
