Frills, ruffles and decadence: PPQ do Gothic glamour with collection nostalgic of Victorian age at London Fashion Week
- Design duo Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker unveiled collection on Friday
- Exhibited an affinity towards the dark side
- Frills were rife, dominating the collars or lining the dress
Design duo Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker exhibited an affinity towards the dark side at their AW15 show on Friday night.
The
relentlessly alluring theme of Gothic romanticism seeped throughout the
collection - named Persephone - thanks to delicate fabrics and feminine
details nostalgic of the Victorian age.
Frills were rife, dominating the collars or lining the dress, and even made their mark on footwear.
PPQ's Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parke did Gothic romanticism with a feminine collection nostalgic of the Victorian age
High-collared
translucent silk shirts with dramatic frills echoed the romantic theme,
and a long draping fur-lined coat lingered more towards 1940s wartime
fashion.
Silk
blouses and sheer fabrics flowed down the runway, followed by luxurious
felt wool coats that embraced winter’s charm and highlighted the
feminine silhouette.

Other
pieces were modernised in their shapes and short cuts, plunging
necklines and sheer fabrics added a touch of sensuality, whilst
remaining within the realms of romantic traditionalism.
The
decadent, sculpted shapes of certain dresses were reminiscent of ballet
costume pieces, depicting a softer grace in their simplicity and
restraint, whilst still keeping the Gothic stance intact.
The result? Dresses that were unapologetically haunting.
The
collection was a surprising shift from PPQ's previous collections
thanks to its dominating Gothic romantic form. But judging by the
audience, who wholeheartedly lapped it up in all its dark beauty, it was
a well-received one.
