John Rocha A/W 10 @ London Fashion Week

John Rocha celebrated his 25 years in the biz with the unveiling of his AW10 collection - a gathering of diverse notions from Deborath Turbeville's 'ninos of Guatemala, to Mayan battle dress and the gauchos of the Argentinean pampas. The brio of these Edwardian ruffians bore through in bowler hats, chunky knits and skin pelts while vertiginous millinery give frayed dresses and bustle skirts a noble edge. Kudos must be given for the magnificent mille feuille detail which spoke of a craftsmanship that could well have exceeded 25 years. Utterly outstanding. Mr. Rocha - you outdid yourself. Touché.
