Attention! Edward Crutchley has presented his SS21 Collection and you may need to be seated for this. Draw the curtains…
Inspired by 1986 film Gokudô no Onna-tachi directed by Hideo Gosha, we are immersed into a collection that vibes 80’s decadence and silhouettes that are ready to tackle anything. Gokudô no Onna-tachi is a Japanese movie centred around a woman who assumes control of one of the most feared gangs when her husband is sent to jail.
The movie’s influence is seen the business pleasure suits with the playfulness of gingham, and Japanese sarong-inspired skirts with flamboyant sleeves. Of course, we will have a collection by Crutchley with meticulous embroidery and details on jackets and outerwear — and his signature silk shirts and pyjama shorts. The collection is comprised of British fabrics with Prince of Wales check, houndstooth and gingham taking centre stage.
You will definitely catch me wearing Look 1 at a gala, and Look 3 for work the next day…
