À La Disposition A/W 2012 by Claire Kearns

On the first day of London Fashion Week I went along to see the presentation by À La Disposition at Fashion Scout. Holding in my hands was an invitation that featured intricate imagery and lettering from times past in gold ink on black card - suitable perhaps for a brand whose name refers to historical costuming techniques. I was aware of American husband and wife duo Lynda and Daniel Kinnes' previous creations, but I had not seen them before in the flesh so I was excited that I would be able to admire their handiwork up close.
