Long time readers will know how I feel towards Jena Theo. I’m a fan and their show is always a highlight whether it’s in Vauxhall Fashion Scout, Mercer St Studios or the new Embankment Gallery Showspace. The autumn/winter 2012 collection entitled “Heavy Metal” sees the label stripped back into a concentrated form – the denim is super skinny and sculptural, the billowing and draping are more apparent. Evidence of the duo’s exploration into architectural shapes and geometrics is shown in the asymmetric cuts, oversize pocket placements, leather detailing and fringing. The detailing on the denim is superb, especially the cut out ankles.
