  • Story Text: The contrasting collections of Fake London and Justin
    Oh have brought London Fashion Week to a close.



    British design label Fake London showed a trademark
    over-the-top Spring/Summer collection on Monday
    (September 16, 2002), dripping with ironic, hedonistic
    touches.

    Corset tops and tiny pleated skirts and kilts were the key
    shapes, teamed with fitted blazers or "parka" jackets. The
    label's trademark applique was everywhere, on tops, trousers
    and jackets. Linen, cotton and fine wool were used in shades
    of hot pink and orange and pale blues and greens.

    It was a witty collection, drawing on ideas of posh
    college girls having fun. Models wore tiny backpacks, only big
    enough to carry in miniature bottle of champagne, and
    champagne corks and bottle openers served as jewellery. But
    designer Desiree Mejer peppered the collection with some very
    wearable, saleable pieces -- wide linen trousers in shades of
    pale pink or biscuit and fitted blazers -- which were not only
    for the very young.

    Spanish born Desiree Mejer started the Fake London label
    in 1992, making patchwork sweaters and T-shirts. She is known
    for her street style, and is popular among pop singers and
    Britpack actors.

    By contrast, Justin Oh showed a simple, classic
    Spring/Summer collection.

    Colours were muted creams and pale pastels, with hints of
    red and navy. Fabrics were heavy cotton, linen and chiffon.

    There was a strong Oriental feel to the collection, with
    wrapped kimono-style tops and dresses, and a key shape was the
    gathered knee-length skirt worn with layers of petticoats.

    Malaysian-born Oh worked for Yohji Yamamoto in Tokyo
    before setting up his own business seven years ago.
