  • Story Text: London-based fashion designer Tomasz Starzewski wowed his audience at London Fashion Week on Sunday (February 22) with an opulent show which combined a sense of decadence and luxury with mannish couture.

    Taking themes from pre-war Berlin, cubism and modernism, London-born Starzewski presented a stunning 1998 Autumn-Winter collection in an art-deco ballroom on Sunday (February 22).

    Pin-stripe suits in shadows of grey were mixed with striking fuschia-pink furs, glittering diamond hair-pins and jaunty canes.

    Operatic silk capes decorated with red feather pompoms stood alongside beaded, fringed evening dresses, trimmed with grey fur.

    Shapes were tapered, with fitted, knee-length pencil skirts and short tailored jackets.Reminiscent of Christian Dior's "New Look", evening dresses had fitted bodices with wide, full skirts.

    As well as luxurious fur collars and throws, Starzewski used cashmere, velvet, brocade and silk.His bridal gown was made of white silk and featured a jacket with a high-necked collar.

    Born in London of Polish heritage, Starzewski studied fashion at St.Martin's School of Art before opening his first boutique in London.In just seven years, he has established an impressive and loyal clientele, which included Diana, Princess of Wales.
