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!
