Shao Yen's presentation was another show that drew upon what appears to be the colours of the season; orange and bright blue. Luxurious accents of fur and tweed combined with sensuous sheer fabric were given a playful sporty touch with the matching baseball caps, white sports socks and pristine new trainers. The oversized tweed suit paired with flat sneakers was an interesting silhouette that not many designers would go for, but Yen didn't shy away from body-con in other pieces. The oranges and turqoises would have seemed more like a spring/summer choice, but incorporated into knitwear they managed to be autumnal with added sunshine. It's not so often that a collection features diverse motifs that intertwine seamlessly to completion; this was a treat for the eyes.
