Maikke Love

Tonight I feel like I've seen something a little bit good, after being left feeling somewhat jaded and heavily underwhelmed by a LFW show on friday (yes it was that bad).
Maikke Mekking a London-based Dutch designer tonight abandoned the standard catwalk format,instead presenting her 2010/11 Autumn winter collection
as an intimate theatrical installation in which a lone model dressed and undressed a fairly muted capsule wardrobe with masculine denim and striking hand-stenciled prints and the occasional blast of earth tones, all to the sounds of live experimental folkiness. The whole atmosphere was one of cosy accessibility with just the right balance of loveliness and pretense. Unfortunatley I didn't catch everything, but i did get these...Enjoy!
