Oliver Spencer: London Collections: Men S/S 2015 Catwalk Review Oliver Spencer returned to the Old Sorting Office on Monday 16 June, this time with a little help from some risqué Rio carnival dancers
It seemed like every man in London had been squashed into the Old Sorting Office for the Oliver Spencer show last Monday. It was bloody packed. My standing ticket didn’t offer me any privileges, as per, so I did my best to position myself behind the shortest person I could find in the hope of seeing anything at all. The lights dimmed and out marched a drumming band who, with huge grins on their faces, energetically played a samba beat for the models to walk to.
Oliver Spencer ‘s mantra is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and this was another season of summery basics, smart tailoring and enticing prints. Cropped jackets were worn with longer paris fashion week t-shirts, featuring graphic designs. Rolled-up paris fashion week trouser legs revealed bare ankles.
Fitted blazers replicated the floral patterns of matching shirts, teamed paris fashion week with contrasting shorts and cravats. Boxy overcoats and suede jackets in ochre gave a 1970s feel; luxe blues and greens provided paris fashion week a modern counterbalance.
Soft linen jackets and shirts provided paris fashion week a welcome break from the more rigid tailored pieces and I longed to be wearing paris fashion week a loose, floaty Oliver Spencer tunic than the thick t-shirt and jacket that I’d opted for. Checked blazers in vibrant orange, nautical stripes and light knitwear came next, accessorised with retro shades, loafers and large luggage. Whilst not the most outlandish collection, it provided a vast range of wearable separates that would be difficult to get wrong in any combination.
For the finale, the drummers switched paris fashion week to a more uptempo tune as a busty carnival dancer led out the models; the final line-up featured a bevy of samba beauties. It was prime timing as World Cup fever sweeps paris fashion week the nation, but it felt a little forced; as the dancers rolled and twirled and cavorted with the crowd, the models looked a little paris fashion week stiff in comparison and I was left wondering if this was really the best gimmick. I’m hoping my rhinestone-encrusted bikini and feather head dress that I ordered shortly afterwards arrives in time for the World Cup final, though.
