British designer Satyen Kumar Patel is a former student of Central St. Martin's, graduating in 2001. After working in Milan for the mainline Versace collection, he left and began consulting back in London, before eventually deciding to create his own collection using his first and middle names in 2006. The overall look of his collection is, in his own words, that of an ‘English eccentric play-boy’. This season's collection carries on that theme, featuring plenty of stripes and oversized schoolboy like blazers.
The show at Vauxhall Fashion Scout didn't disappoint on the promised blissful Ibiza vibe -Cole Mohr & co strode the runway (to the sounds of The Pet Shop Boys' "Domino") in bowl-cuts, fluidly tailored shapes and enticingly underwater tones of coral, aquamarine and lavender. There were welcome punches of solid colour, with splashes of sunshine yellow, lipstick pink and bright blue layered into the mix: while sheer fabrics like voile and tulle allowed the designer to layer a surprisingly dense level of detail -kaleidoscopic acid-era prints, rainbow-patchworked vests and blocks of solid fabrics- without losing the overall sense of effortlessly liquid grace.
