London Fashion Week – Backstage at Jasper Garvida AW11

Regular readers will know that I adore Jasper Garvida, both the brand and the man behind the label. Last season, I went behind the scenes and found it was the best way to appreciate his beautiful creations was up close. Pictures from the front row don’t quite do the workmanship and detailing justice. I fell in love with the large paillettes in the last collection – especially the shoulders on the dress I borrowed – and I was glad to see Jasper had used these in abundance in this collection. Gorgeous silks and lace were deftly twisted, draped and folded to create a collection which really raised the bar this fashion week. My words really can’t do these pieces justice, so just have a look at my pictures. They’re worth a thousand words.
