Fred Butler's iconic approach to accessories and signature psychedelic use of colour is really quite a spectacle. You see her mantra is that fashion should be experienced in a multisensory fashion through a marriage of colour, texture, sound, mood and concept...
The SS12 collection is inspired by aquatic creatures that shed their outer shell to reveal fluorescent bodies underneath. Hand painted silk in a techni-colour palette is twisted, ruffled and concertinaed to volumous body sculptures. But best of all, Fred has reinvented the scrunchie.
The glasses are like those of an underwater techno crustacean...
And look at those shoes, made in collaboration with artist Rosy Nicholas...
Between Fred's accessories, Holly Fulton's underwater paradise and Chanel's deep-sea-dream, i'm thinking aquatic may just be about to take over the world. Bagsy Nemo.
