London based designer Samantha Cole started off by working at Burberry and studying at The London College of Fashion. Now, her line is reminds me of a cabaret, and she is surely an up and comer. The Spring Summer ’09 is predominately black and white, and has been “loosely inspired the Edwardians, with a hint of Victorian, and sprinkled with gothic influences.”
SCL’s philosophy is to interpret a trend, a thought, a mood by de-constructing the obvious signals projected and re-defining the concept to produce silhouettes that acknowledge the pat, have a sense of the future and recognizes that there are no limits or boundaries to fashion, just to ourselves.
