The Japanese designers this season really are making a name for themselves, first Dans La Vie now Ozwald Boateng- it’s becoming a bit of a pattern!

Boateng’s 'Migration' collection is based on Yofuku (a Japanese interpretation of modern western wardrobe and tailoring) and Wafuku (traditional Japanese clothing, typical of a pre 20^th Century Japan). Yes, intriguing. Just as intriguing as the beautiful, long-haired models who were wearing Boateng’s latest AW collection.  Silently posing like still statues around the Savile Row store, the brooding, dark and handsome men very much summed up his collection.

The rich tones of scarlet and green relate back to the hunting aristocracy in Japan and the mohair jumpers relate to the Japanese values, incorporating high quality fabrics into high quality attire.

The modern two-piece suits are tailored in a traditional Japanese fashion, with contrasting linings and subtle touches, including elbow patches. Topped off with trilby hats, Boateng completed the classic gentleman look, which was highly appreciated by both the Western and Eastern audience alike. Particularly the women.
