Pre-show Q+A: Lou Dalton.

February 23, 2010

Awoke early this morning to share this brief pre-show Q+A with the acclaimed Lou Dalton (she of the somewhat altered English gentry/sports-wear). Pics are from Dalton’s Spring 2010 collection – certainly the best homage to sea-bandits I’ve come across…

What inspired you this season (AW 2010)?

A recent trip to the Isle of Skye

Will we see a return to your off-kilter English sportswear aesthetic for this collection?

I never steer too far away from it, however, it is always important to put a new spin on things…

Any interesting stories/anecdotes regarding the production of this collection?

Time, time, time, lack of it.

What do you feel will be the key menswear item/piece for AW10?

Anything by Lou Dalton will for sure get you through the season!
