We’ve been in the thrall of a vague 60s fashion comeback for a few seasons now, but the latest Eley Kishimoto collection seems to have been distilled from pure 60s essence, mixed with a large dose of colour. I am in love with their swing jackets, A-line skirts, mini dresses, white tights, secretary cardigans and gloves – all perfect for starring in my own version of Peter Sellers’ The Party. Now all I need is an elephant.
Pity about the models, eh? With the exception of the one above left, who is attempting a Mona Lisa-style enigmatic smile, they look like they’d rather be mudwrestling naked in Siberia than being paid squillions to walk down a catwalk.
