SS Daley Spring Summer Fashion Show 2023
SS Daley Spring Summer Fashion Show started with a very inspiring presentation of models of various sizes (driving him the first to make for menswear what the influx of gorgeous curvy models has been at London’s women’s shows). After that: all types of wearable new treats were sprinkled through the collection in the shape of balloon-sleeve and ticking-stripes blouses with botanical prints, sweaters with Wedgwood container blue-and-white embroidery, zip-up cardigans accompanied with a couple of rabbits on the front. There was a lot of bunny move.
Daley’s third show, also using performers from the National Youth Theatre, was established this time about a dramatized reading of the beloved letters between Vita Sackville West and Violet Trefusis. They played it on a stage evoking Sackville West’s famed white garden at Sissinghurst.
As one of the United kingdom’s most famous young designers, SS Daley has placed his mark as an emerging talented designer to watch all his collections. Be back to the London Fashion Week calendar for the third time, he now shows his Spring/Summer 2023 collection. For FW22, Steven Stokey-Daley called into question the abolition of stately houses in the 20th century. London dance school students took roles in a theatrical performance that caught the designer paying tribute to the union of theatre and movement.
SS Daley Spring Summer Fashion Show 2023 delivered an alternative storyline, as Daley developed through colonial love letters in his latest collection, “Vita.” This amazing performance made the attendees through a looking glass, glancing at the notes shared between 19th-century author Vita Sackville-West and socialite Violet Trefusis. As a tribute to queer females living in the patriarchal era.
Dramatic bells rang as the presentation commenced. With this, walking actors gradually made their way close to the runway, each holding a candle and wrapped in quieted blazers, dress shirts, morning coats, and sweater vests, and the latter performing Vita and Violet via the ribbon.
Flowers made a great effect, sharing Vita’s beloved gardening amusement celebrated on cotton twill utility sets, Irish linen wide-cut summer shirts, dapper striped robes, and floor-length balloon sleeve shirts. Daley unlocked the doors to the author’s gardening shed elaborated into merino wool sweaters.
Often referenced in the couple’s letters, bunnies and hares were shown throughout as models donned whiskers, companies with chucklesome animal ears.
