Faux Furs, jewels, leather and panthers make this ‘Fast Women’ collection  one for the speed chick with attitude.

Clio Peppiatt’s SS17 collection mixed silks and lace alongside heavy denim biker jackets and leathers, meshing delicate and daredevil personalities in purples and golds, with pops of red throughout. Complimenting the collection was an installation of car parts and racing flags in the presentation, where the models posed holding megaphones and steering wheels as well as sitting on car seats.

Signature hand drawn embroidery and delicate embellishments transform light, comfortable fabrications into a fiercely feminine collection. This is complimented by stand out slogans that punctuate the collection in the form of a jewellery collaboration with Tatty Devine, models were emblazoned with ‘Carnage’, ‘Heels ‘n’ Wheels’ and ‘Fast Women’ along with a bold, majestic panther that runs throughout the collection.

Making Clio’s work more well rounded and current, she has even collaborated with Skinny Dip on a range of bold phone cases which are available at Topshop, Asos and skinnydip.com. Working on collaborating with popular accessories for a lot of designers seems to be the smart way to increase revenue and exposure, and with brands like Tatty Devine and Skinny Dip also being the same target market as Clio Peppiatt, the pieces work together cohesively and effectively.

The Spring / Summer presentation featured shoes by Liudmila, watches by Baby G and hosiery by d bleu dazzled. Styling and consultation by Adele Cany.
