Much against our better judgement we have been to a few London Fashion Week shows this season. All that queuing and unseemly scrum whilst being screwed-out by overdressed fashion students really isn't our scene. However we are fans of Canadian designer Jean -Pierre Braganza so we took the plunge and rolled up in Northumberland avenue to see what he'd been up to.
For AW11 his continuing themes are sci- fi, anatomy and rock and roll. His techniques are: complex cutting, layering and panelling. Highly structured with interesting use of quilting, leather and jersey.
J-P has translated some of his ideas into fairly avant-garde menswear we particularly liked the red suit.For AW11 his continuing themes are sci- fi, anatomy and rock and roll.

We thoroughly approve of his wilful refusal to follow 'trends'. This is the way to genuinely innovate.
He says he's thinking about "clothes for a future world", we would happily wear them now.
We find we rather enjoy all this fashion stuff. More to follow.
