John Rocha’s autumn/winter 2008 collection was a breath of fresh air as the runway was injected with bursts of colour. Bright tomato reds, candy pinks, purples as well as pastels used under some skirts.
The detailing was meticulous with twisted and knotted fabrics, hand crochet, dense metallic embroideries and sequin panelling. The fabrics used were cashmere, wool felt, lambs wool, silk crepe de chine and georgette legrere.
Known for his fascination with surface and texture works, John introduced new surfaces for this collection by using techniques such as beaten nakshi, intricate beading and gold braids.
One of the standout pieces was a bright red coat with pockets that had a deep purple skirt in a bell shape peeking out from beneath.
