LONDON FASHION WEEK - JEAN PIERRE BRAGANZA


Double layered wool, piping, crepe for drape and open-ended panelling all made an appearance on the Mango store runway of Jean Pierre Braganza. The shop transformed their top floor into a catwalk venue for London Fashion Week to a crowd that included Hilary Alexander, the Telegraph’s Fashion editor.

The New Gen Designer of Autumn/Winter 2008 was handpicked by Lagerfeld as his protégé and is known for his signature sharp tailoring and deconstructed shapes. Jean Pierre’s runway was anything but ordinary with each tailored silhouette having a futuristic feel.

His collection featured a lot of black and grey with flashes of fuchsia and used satin, leather, knits and wool. With a round of applause at the end of the show expect his futuristic view of the modern world to be the next big thing.
