Qasimi may not be a name that you are familiar with. They presented their first collection to London Fashion Week back in February and yesterday took over part of Westminster City Hall with their Spring collection. Design duo Khalid AlQasimi and Elliot Frieze presented a Spring line that was clearly divided in to three sections; two of ready-to-wear and one of couture.
The show opened with two amazing violinists playing rock on golden violins. They soon made way for the first half of the collection which compromised mainly of equestrian inspired items including jodhpur style trousers, and classic tailored items like wide-leg trousers and super-tight pencil skirts.
There were echoes of colonial India in the second half pieces including sari like drapes, military safari jackets for the men and silk trousers. The pair cemented their name in fashion with the end of the show as Erin O'Connor appeared wearing an enormous couture dress. How did they get Erin involved? Simple, they just asked her! For images and a video of Erin's appearance read more.
