The English Designer in charge of this iconic English label chose (you guessed it) an English artist, L.S. Lowry, as the basis for his FW 2008 collection. After seeing the silk scarves and button-ups paired with the hobo gloves and sock hats, one can’t help but think of a cleaner and more chic version of a working man from the 1930s. Christopher Bailey decided to make the switch from skinny to flared pants this year, which I must admit (after some getting used to), works quite well. He used England’s traditional autumn colours and took us to the countryside by littering the runway with leaves. Tim Blanks says that Mr. Bailey has become a "master of mood", but I dare say that Mr. Bailey has found his inspiration for this mood from one of Toronto’s more well known labels: (http://www.bustleclothing.com/bustle_site.html). I don't know what to think.
