Jeong Love


Moving along, moving along. Next show is up and it's CSM grad Eun Jeong. She's doing pretty well for herself already, after graduating Jeong had a window display all to herself in Selfridges. A pretty big deal. So I was expecting great things from this show. Also, first celebrity spot. Supermodel and Marks and Spencers extrodinaire Erin O' Connor having a natter to the Telegraph's guru Hilary Alexander. Oooh!

Eun Jeong's Black Vanity show started to a packed tent, all eyes on the catwalk. The first model sauntered out and one word reigned supreme- volume, a theme that continued through each outfit. Colour was minimal, only black, cream, orange and a little pink featured. Oversized ruffles billowed from dresses, tops and the hybrid jumpsuit/boobtube. These were something like trousers that continued almost up to the neck- high waisted and then some. Innovative, but you'd have to be incredibly skinny and six foot to pull them off. That's me out then, sob!


I have to also mention the coats. AMAZING! Either in black or orange and both as beautiful as each other. They were similar to the duffel coat but with deep v necks and large buttons giving way to pleated sides with ridiculously intricately beaded oversized hoods. I want one but will probably have to win the loto first. Gutted.

The successful collection is guaranteed to make Eun Jeong a coveted, red carpet worthy lable very soon. Mark my words.
