Les Chiffoniers – AW11

This should be the perfect season for this label. Leather is everywhere now and they were one of the first to utilise is so much way back when with leather leggings, so can be masterful in ruling this fabric. Leena Similu has turned her attention from the signature legging to the form of the dress. The material (recycled from old creations) has been manipulated into various forms; patchwork, layered strips, panels and embellished with lighter fabrics such as pleated chiffon and net to create a new body of work which is structured and soft. As with many presentations this season a short film accompanies the work to show off the clothes in a different media.
