Fashions got the V&A in motion

We went along to see our SS12 sunglasses in action (round 2!) at Peter Jensen's 10 year retrospective show hosted by the V&A in its Raphael gallery.

Showing a beautiful assortment of clothing and outfits from collections across the 10 years of his label, Jensen was able to create a montage of styles, piecing together an intriguingly complex story about his various female muses. The beautiful illustrated backdrop from his SS07 show by Charlotte Mann and props from other past collections, along with the Raphael cartoons, provided Jensen with the perfect setting to present a witty amalgamation of highlights from his past decade in fashion.

Fashion in Motion is a series of free fashion shows hosted by the V&A featuring collections by some of the most influential current designers. Peter Jensen's show along with a static retrospective in Copenhagen and new hardback book have all helped celebrate and mark his 10 years on the London fashion scene. We designed and produced the two styles of sunglasses shown in both his SS12 show and last weeks utterly brilliant retrospective :)
