Molly embarks on an investigative journey for her autumn and winter 2016 collection. She explores the concept of couture in the modern sense, looking to find out how much fabric can successfully be manipulated into one garment. Her signature tulles are found are combined with printed corduory, organza, taffeta and workwear fabrics in burnt, black and varying shades of pastel. Smock style found on the coats mirror Molly’s voluminous dresses which are layered over separates and silk slips. A strong focus on fabrication due to her interest in mixed materials is very much the centre of this collection.
An abstracted theatrical world inspired by the cult yakuza film ‘Tokyo Drifter’ is recreated in a new light for this presentation, where street-cast models are fully grown up. They watched old couture salon shows on YouTube.
