London Fashion Week AW11: Aminaka Wilmont
Who: Aminaka Wilmont
What: an abundance of signature digital prints, patent leather separates and socks.
Thoughts: Aminaka Wilmont’s latest collection was a vision of black knee-high socks, rocking leather pieces and signature blurred digital prints – some dotted with snakeskin, others with softer, blown-out florals – in a monochrome palette.
Silhouettes were slim – Wilmont’s trademark body-con designs haven’t gone anywhere for autumn, fans will be pleased to hear – and short, but were layered with draped fabrics or leather jackets and to add a directional shape and texture.
Although the black-white-grey colour scheme was limiting and grinded slightly towards the end of the show, key pieces like the sheepskin-trimmed waterfall jacket and multi-layered biker bomber coat definitely realed back the limelight for this winter line.
