What?

By now we all know Claire is famous for her illustrated leather jackets so it was nice this season to see her steer away from that. Her last year showing for Fashion East, Claire presented a collection inspired by Kenneth Anger and Voodoo. Clothes still had her signature illustrations but this season the focus was on clear plastic skirts and jackets.

Where?

Topshop space, Regents Park, still raining.

Who?

Keeping away from agency models, Claire used a cool mix of street cast girls and guys. Describing them as ‘her gang’ you get the feeling that most of them of are her friends or mutuals.

Want?

White wrap pinafore dress with what looks like illustrated sun-faces.
