Day 3. We are London.

Day 3 and one of my favourite design houses has pulled it out of the bag and showed the fashion world why London is one of the best. The numerical brand 1205, created and kept alive by the work force that is Paula Gerbase. With a background of men's tailoring on Saville Row, Paula is no stranger to impeccable tailoring and cut, with previous collections focusing on the actual construction and material of the garment rather than print and message, all the features that suggest the learnings of Saville Row. But this season, Gerbase did indeed excel herself.

With one of the focuses of the collections from 1205 being of the material and how to make it seem something it's not - for example, a nylon to look like a silk, it is no question that Gerbase has a investigative eye towards bringing something new to the table of London Fashion week. This season, she did it once again. "Fool's Gold" - mineral pyrate, a compound rock that is only sold in one location in northern spain. Through persistance, Gerbase chased the substance down and included it in her collection, as both embellishment and fastenings. Along with this minute detail of thought and persistance, the collection's material are that of lust and luxury - if you wish to see a collection that is made of dreams, this is your girl, a true advocate of the teachings of Saville Row, and one of London's best.
