Known best for producing core, high-quality garments designed with longevity in mind, Lou Dalton is the kind of designer we need to combat fast fashion in 2019.
For her SS20 presentation, Dalton set up a wholesome camping scene, with a group of models – made up of her friends, mentors and fiancĂ© – perched on Land Rover folding stools around military surplus tents.
In a warm palette of earthy browns, cream, camel and orange, the collection incorporated every item you could possibly need, all-year-round – from bucket hats, shorts and polo shirts to trench coats, knitted crew neck jumpers and two reversible coats, made in partnership with duffle-coat specialists Gloverall. With clean silhouettes in understated stripes and check, Dalton delivered a completely versatile, wearable, mix-and-match range.
