Oliver Spencer // London Fashion Week // Spring Summer 2012
With all the will in the world unless you are in possession of a TARDIS it is impossible to see every show you want to, or are invited to. Oliver Spencer was this season one of the victims of space and time colluding to keep us a part. It’s a shame they did as I like this collection. It’s been said that leaving Somerset House you left the edge behind you and entered a much lad driven atmosphere when you arrived at the Oliver Spencer. These were the guys who would normally be found propping up a bar and actually discussing football with genuine interest.
After the Milan and Paris shows this summer it became clear that short shorts would be around for at least another summer. So with that in mind best get to the gym and running again to maintain what I got busted a gut getting last winter during marathon prep. These salmon and pale pink shorts are brilliant and could easily be dressed up or down. The suits shown were much more relaxed than we’ve seen elsewhere and in recent seasons. Having kept everything nipped in, cropped and tight for so long I think it will take a while for these looks to filter through. But if there is a time for a more relaxed trouser, or even the oxford bag we saw at Paul Costelloe, it will start next summer. The rolled yet loose trouser here is a great move on.
All in all, whilst not earth shattering in its edge, this collection stands out as brilliantly wearable and accessible. Menswear desperately needs high quality ranges of both to really start competing or drawing near womenswear. Oliver Spencer definitely delivers and am hoping my TARDIS is delivered in time for next season so I don’t miss out again.
