We are at the cusp of London Fashion Week, the AW10 collection is about to be presented but first here is a preview of what to expect from Derek Lawlor this coming season:
Inspired by the texture and colour of John Piper’s paintings, Lawlor builds on the densely intricate, structural aesthetic of his debut, fusing more traditional cabling and intarsia elements with woven fabrics and weaving techniques.
Softly feminine cashmere, mohair and moleskin are layered with waxed cotton cord in a palette of moody blues, greys with a splash of bold colour to create a collection of versatile separates and stand out pieces that offer an edgy, innovative take on bespoke knitwear for the modern woman.
The AW10 collection is a development of Derek’s signature cord technique, moving on from Japanese body armour he has been inspired by art deco architecture. Focusing on the different patterns and geometric shapes, Derek has transformed his cording technique to a much more refined and sophisticated aesthetic. Derek was also inspired from the paintings of John Piper,
” I really love the textures which explode from his paintings” .I wanted to introduce the idea of different textures within my new collection. Combining mohair, Cashmere, Mole Skin and Wax Cotton has allowed me to manipulate different compositions and produce sculptural pieces to offer an edgy, modern take on bespoke knitwear.”
