During London Fashion Week, I made a point not to miss Jasper Conran’s show at the main tent in Somerset House. Conran’s quintessentially British collections typically combine impeccable British tailoring with juicy colors, and this season was no different. The one surprising aspect of the Spring ’13 collection, however, was the groovy American influence, which I describe at Verily:

Conran was one of the first designers to ever show at London Fashion Week—and has remained loyal to his roots. Yet, Conran’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection evoked a surprising American influence this year.

As the models walked barefoot on a runway covered in bright green faux grass, Jasper Conran’s line felt right out of the country circa late 1960s or early 1970s.
