London Fashion Week AW12: Jonathan Saunders
Jonathan Saunders has that special ingredient that makes a designer desirable every season; wearable designs that are somehow on trend without having an expiry date. His clothes are special, they are clothes that every woman wants to wear no matter what size or age they might be. The quality is paramount to the designer, while Jonathan Saunders The Business ensures that the label has longevity – those who buy his pieces want to wear them over and over and over again.
For AW12, Saunders has delivered a collection infused with his signature streamlined sportswear but it is also a collection that demands recognition for his skills. The young Scot has truly progressed and developed as a designer; his autumn/winter fabrics, prints and silhouettes are all fresh and are the catalyst for the butterflies-in-your-tummy excitement when you first see the collection. His bright prints, reminiscent of those from his SS12 collection prove his genius – his designs transcend seasons and will forever remain a staple in your wardrobe.
Girl Meets Dress already has some favourite Jonathan Saunders dresses for next season; the v-necks and the a-lines are timeless favourites, while the colours and fabrics are guaranteed show stoppers.
