London, UK. 19th February 2016. Steven Tai launched his Autumn/Winter 2016 fashions at his "Freaky Friday" Fashion Show at the Elms Lester Painting Rooms as part of the first day of London Fashion Week in London. Models appeared in a living-room setting wearing modern fashions while doing old-fashioned hobbies and tasks. The collection was inspired by the phrase "an old soul" and takes inspiration from materials and colours that are reminiscent of the old lady in our daily lives. Corduroys in lavender, navy, beige and olive are frayed and woven to build a modern wardrobe. Classic floral print is updated in a peony jacquard with strands of colours revealed on the row edges, creating both an attitude and a sense of time. Like someone wrapped in their duvet and not wanting to leave the warmth of their bed; voluminous white silk quilted blankets and pillows are constructed to wrap around the body creating folds and twists that are reminiscent of a bed well slept in. Despite appearances, the steventai girl is wise beyond her much so, that she feels tired before the party really gets started. So much so, that she really just wants to stay home and fall asleep in front of her Netflix. Like Tess Colman in Freaky Friday she feels like someone older trapped in a younger body.
