PAUL COSTELLOE
Dublin born designer Paul Costelloe once again opened London Fashion Week, as he has over the past 5 seasons, with a fresh concept on tweeds in an “All-Black Atmosphere”. Puffball and Victorian-style crinoline skirts in tweed, satin and jacquard fabrics with corset tops in checked fabrics and military inspired jackets. Leather, PVC, satin trousers, puffed sleeves, waistcoats and embellishments of sequins all kept to the Victorian theme while the shortened hemlines of skirts and dresses modernized the looks.
