London Fashion week ends and in true Daniel Lismore style as he creates his own fashion event gathering half of London.
As creative Director of Sorapol, Daniel is know for his extreme theatrical and avant gard production that he brings to the fashion brand.
Being hosted in the old arches below Waterloo station made for an incredible atmosphere, for those that remember SHUNT, cast your minds back for some idea of the vibe.
With a style heavily influenced by European military from the Crimean War and Baroque theatre, this show was far more than clothes down a catwalk.
The show was around 15 minutes long with the models slowly walking to what was staged similar to corpses in a theatrical production.
Strong elements of fantasy came along with the production conjuring up old Europe in a creepy but romantic style.
There were some incredible head pieces who we were told by Soropl himself, took up to six months to produce.
Along with the design and what we felt were some of the strongest elements in the show was the hair design with the intwined gas masks and skulls. Something we will definitely take influence from the creative direction of Lismore.
London fashion Week is unique with its hard edged creative explosion of ideas that is then taken to other fashion weeks and worked more commercially.
The satellite shows around LFW are essential to the energy and independence created in London and with Daniel Lismore producing the Sorpol show it strengthens London's Art and Fashion identity for what we shold all be proud and thankful of.
