Roksanda brings sculptural silhouettes to London Fashion Week

The Serbian-born, London-based designer established her brand in 2005, rapidly becoming known for her bold, smart and sculptural approach to womenswear.

Roksanda’s client base include the Princess of Wales, Anne Hathaway and Cate Blanchett as her sophisticated, sleek yet vibrant designs are fit for royals and Hollywood A-listers alike.

Ilincic’s high end fans are an untimid class of women who do not necessarily need pointers to her inspiration.

And her following will undoubtedly be thrilled with this latest collection.

Inspired by the British sculptor Phyllida Barlow, the show closed with a monologue of Barlow stating: “Space is malleable, it’s a material, it’s not just an empty vacuum.”

Sharp lines were apparent alongside sumptuous heavy grey knits, oversized blazers and pinstriped wool capes.

But it was not all long-lined neutrals.

Sustainability has always been at the core of Ilincic’s design philosophy.

This collection was inspired by Barlow’s use of repurposing discarded items, which helped her explore fragility, impermanence and physicality, creating work that feels in constant motion.

Texture, colour and tactile experimentation took centre stage, featuring unconventional fabrics from fringe-spiked raffia to fil coupé tapestry and oversized sequins.

In quintessential Roksanda style, there was a celebration of colour, delving into what lies beneath its surface, using dripping threads and cut outs.

With a sustained focus on space and form, there was no better venue than the Space House in central London, designed by architect Richard Seifert, this brutalist and minimal backdrop resonates with Roksanda’s strong and sculptural design philosophy.
