Designer Kerry shoots to kill at London Fashion Week’s digital runway show

The irony of shooting her new Spring Summer 22 film for London Fashion Week in an empty former fashion store has not gone away from Kerry fashion designer Colin Horgan.

is the latest collection, Partisan Future, the story of acceptance and adoption of a new paradigm was filmed at Tralee, and Horgan was able to engage many Irish creatives in the making of a film that was shared digitally with an international audience at London Fashion Week at the weekend.

By its own description, the new collection is a vision of gradual maturity, longevity and enduring flux.

Horgan, whose studio is in her home country of Ardfert, is all about letting the outfit take one into a newer self, never looking back.

For the upcoming SS22 season, he has used luxury fabrics such as grosgrain, bonded taffeta, and technology-based fabrics with UV protection.

The new collection features a trench coat with militant strength and for a super glam look from day to night, it uses a two-way stretch satin that, she says, moves like a fluid as you walk.

Horgan takes inspiration from the power of women in his family and pairs it with real women who inspired him throughout his youth.

His LFW audience was introduced to a hyper-sensational silhouette that raced around the body and circulated downwards, while the long, slender shape lifted the body up.

The look included a sculpted waspie over a lime green dress in Raschel lace and modern web-looking lace.

The waist drama was inspired by the sculptural pieces Horgan did for her MA course and she created waspie from a blend of satin, grosgrain, and foam.

The bonded taffeta jacket features shoulder-padded foam worn with rock gray trousers with added side swivel panels that create movement.

Meanwhile, the Electronic Sheep duo of Brenda Aherne and Helen Delany are part of the LFW platform featuring a new collection of 18 Electro-fuse scarves and two caftans alongside their classic E-sheep collection.

The Dubliners, who were childhood friends and the two studied at NCAD, have been in business together since 1998.

There are avid collectors of their work around the world, snapping their triangular scarves with stories or topics knitted into threads in a signature illustration style.

Their new take on the Girl by Liffey scarf in a merino featured at LFW is much more than a token illustration of Dublin’s famous waterway.

Brenda explains how the complexity of the scarf goes beyond her cute drawings while exploring 1916″.

The illustrative wool scarf covers monumental political and historical events, from the Easter Awakening to the first airplane flight over Dublin.

Scarves also capture cultural moments, from the birth of the Dada movement to the rise of James Joyces Artist Portrait for British launch Mode Magazine.
