It feels odd to say that this collection is amazingly so
wonderful and appealing ... It’s not wonderful because it has universal appeal
nor is it wonderful because it is perfect in every way … BUT ... it is so so so
Delpozo ... so distinctive … so true to itself. The brand stands alone as would
a red dress floating in an ocean of
whipped cream. It is the combination of razor sharp edges mixed with the most
“flou” of languid georgette and sometimes even within the same style. Even the
palette is a clash of the classic played against “of the moment” brights.

This is fashion as I believe it should and can be when handled with a discerning
eye, a well-focused vision of a designer who possesses the skillset of a master ...
it is an evolution... a massage and a manipulation of the brand’s signatures.
In today’s world of so called fashion most designers seem to be looking for a
new customer base each season... one season it is all loose and mid-calf... one
season all prints and pastels... another season it's all skintight and impossibly short… you get the idea
but here is a designer, Josep Font, that is consistent in his vision and how he proposes
each season in an ongoing process of development. Can you name 3 other designer brands that
can make that claim other than maybe Ralph Lauren?

It is clothes like these that stimulate, enervate and give faith and hope to a business that seems to have lost its way
with a lot of very misguided help and advice from those who should stick to
what they know and not wield their power to inadvertently destroy and
eviscerate a brand, a designer or a business!! Rant over

The photos speak for themselves albeit not as loudly as the garments
do in person. If I was looking for a deficit here it would be that the
collection might have been shown on models that looked to be more than just sweet
16. One can only imagine the chic of it all if presented on a more grownup type!..
And yet despite this, the clothes remain exquisite by most standards unless of
course you just can’t see beyond the surface!
