London Fashion Week
25th February 2013 Sunglasses have become a very popular sight on the international fashion stages, and the more avantgarde and eye-catching the better. In London, one show that caught our imagination and included some exciting shades to accessorise the collections, was Canadian designer Thomas Tait’s autumn/winter presentation, which took place at the very cool Carlton House Terrace Garages in St James’s (www.stjameslondon.co.uk).
Featuring slick masculine tailored coats and daring blocks of colour, the shades were part of the story, and came in larger than life, distinctive asymmetrical shapes. Tait collaborates with Cutler & Gross for his sunglass projects and it’s not the first time he has woven a special sunglass collection into his overall catwalk look – some of you will remember the ‘Sadzies’ launched on the catwalk in September 2011.
