Although the Canadian designer is renowned for his sharp structure and futuristic monochrome wears, this season the element of movement was a welcome addition.
In what may be his most buzzed-about collection yet, Laing took his staple shapes and injected them with a generous helping of movement, draping, and texture.
Past seasons have been heavy on digital prints, but this collection seems destined for the shades-of-grey loving fashion girls.
Laing’s collection proves that being self-taught is hardly a hindrance, but can contribute to an organic and innovative point-of-view (surely working for McQueen for five years didn’t hurt).
Conceptually simple, there was something for everyone – micro minis, draped maxi-length dresses, and girly skirts were shown alongside more complicated pieces, which the designer calls ‘trapped’ dresses.
