This monday I had a 4 am wakeup call to make my way to On/Off located at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Louise Amstrup was showcasing her second collection for London Fashion Week. This season Louise’s inspiration was taken from the 1984 cult classic film ‘Paris, Texas’ directed by Wim Wenders. Inspired by the aloof and mysterious lead female character, Jane Henderson and by the striking cinematography of bleak deserts, dry, alien landscapes strewn with peeling advertisement billboards, neon signs and rusting iron carcasses, Louise produces a signature collection of contradictions. Fusing feminine elements of draped delicate silks with powerful structured tailoring the end result was an impressive contemporary showing.

Also here is the video from her show.
I haven’t yet seen Paris, Texas but it looks great and I love the screen stills I have seen and the poster!
