Todd Lynn has long been the go-to designer for anyone favouring a rock’n’roll aesthetic. And yesterday, to a soundtrack of Nineties indie rock, we saw razor-sharp cigarette pants, washed leather jackets with sharp shoulders and severe shift dresses with angular necklines that are all very much part of his vernacular. This season, he played to all of his strengths. Lynn
likes black – and there was some here – but this is Spring/Summer, after all, so what does a designer like Lynn do when the sun starts shining? He looks to
a colour palette of nudes, moss, sea, silvery steely greys and lightest gold, and those fierce silhouettes are actually all the better for it. Die-hard Lynn fans, fear not. There was armour to these softer – dare I say it, pretty – colours. Add-on capelet, pocket and shoulder panels of buttermilk or moss pythonskin introduced surface interest. So, too, did the dramatic, armadillo-esque, high-shine chrome breastplates, designed in collaboration with Shaun Leane, that adorned several looks.
