The Fashion Editor at Large managed to get me into the Peter Pilotto show, and what a show it was!
- A subtle retro colour palette spliced with flashes of bright orange
- Patchwork panels of leather, fur, tweed and silver foil
- Nude thigh-high shoes made from strands of leather
- The prints for which Pilotto is renowned splashed with silvery mercury
Lots of big editors and writers turned out: Suzy Menkes, Hilary Alexander, Sarah Mower, and Diane Pernet in her signature black veil.

I can't even tell you how beautiful it was. You just have to watch the video to grasp it.
'For Autumn Winter 2010 Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos visually quote the off colour scheme of 70s interiors and faded exteriors or modernist architecture, in a collection that develops their signature exploration of the relationship between the man-made and the natural world'
See what I mean!
