Tailoring at London Fashion Week

Whilst the 1970s are definitely having a sartorial moment, the 1990s are still very much present in this year's shows. Having said that, Emilia Wickstead has managed to subtly merge the two. Keeping her minimalist, paired-down aesthetic but combining it with bold, round sleeves, prairie-cut busts and a shy floatiness. Meanwhile Jasper Conran has bucked a trend and seems to be solely referencing 1960s minimalism twinned with 1990s freshness. Having worked as a tailor on Saville Row for five years, it is no surprise that Paula Gerbase's label 1205 is all about structure and cut. It is always refreshing to see someone working with traditional, time-honoured skills to produce something that still resonates with modern fashion. It seems that for 1205 their affinity also lies with the 1990s.
