Wales Bonner Fall Winter 2017 Collection at London Fashion Week

"The Wales Bonner show brought a spiritualism to the streets and, as always, drew on the designer’s own experiences as a mixed-race girl brought up in south London – as well as the time she spent at the Josef Albers Foundation in Senegal last year. “It was about the return of these spiritual characters who have existed in the Wales Bonner language before,” she explained of her departure from sparkling, princely figures. “It was about making them the heroes and looking at the street in an elevated way – and looking at it at different time periods. It was about bringing this sense of richness and depth to street language.” "
