Last week, Theatre de la Mode alighted on the perch of London Fashion Week, flapping the wings of its 2010 spring/summer collection in all the bright plumage of citrus orange, deep water coral, and sunny tangerine.Designer Christopher Kelly remarks “the silhouette of gentleman’s lounge wear is one of ease and boxed drape that fit the mood of Theatre de la Mode.”
Chris drew his inspiration from the African finch, which he applied to the leisure wear of the 1930's. He conceived the idea when his eyes were drawn to the hand-painted sign of a pet shop, the star of which was an African finch.
Since true finches are seed-eating songbirds, why not sit pack with a healthy sunflower snack and, flipping through the photo gallery, listen the melodic chirps and coos of the African finch.
