Hmmm...it's not very convincing. It looks rather student-y.
Hilary Alexander reviews the Louise Goldin spring/summer 2010 collection from London Fashion Week.
In a show that appeared to be a mix of ‘The Tudors’ and ‘Star Wars’, Louise Goldin established the pointy, rocket-cone bra as THE new shape for the funky and fearless next season and offered matching gathered bloomers as an alternative to cycling shorts or leggings.
“It is the first time I’ve done anything historical,” she said. “I did a lot of research at the Victoria & Albert’s Baroque exhibition, and I’ve been studying bras for three years. It all came together, but I still wanted to keep it quite futuristic.”
Her bra shapes were an update on everything from the ‘sweater girls’ of the 50s to Gaultier’s famous rocket-cone brassieres and corsetry for Madonna.
Goldin worked with tulle, lame, leather, organza and stretch jersey in bright metallics, alongside softer, fairy-like pastels of pale lemon, blue and sugary-pink. The bra and romper designs were twinned with off-the-shoulder see-through dresses, asymmetric ‘toga’ skirts and pleated micro-kilts,
As a 21st century take on doublet and hose, it was as watchable as Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII.
