London – One of London Fashion Week’s rising stars lived up to the hype last night, as Thomas Tait impressed with his sculpted take on sports couture.
The 23-year-old Central Saint Martins graduate said he was inspired by the effect of neon light on a jersey fabric with a clear print and foil overlay. His play on refracted light on cocoon-shaped coats and clinical racer back dresses referenced the lady-like sportswear trend seen elsewhere on the London catwalks.
With only his second collection Tait had the fashion press in raptures, and is a designer to watch.
