Amy Molyneaux's newest collection at London Fashion Week under her new label, Studio Moluyneaux, ushers in a vibrant new chapter through the doors of the Farsite Gallery at Flitcroft Street, plastered with luminous primary coloured projections of her bag designs from an illustrious career under the PPQ label.

Showcasing a unique marriage of flashy nostalgia and futurism, STUDIO MOLYNEAUX’s debut was founded in the rich musical heritage of the venue in which equally colourful guests gathered on Sunday evening. A site steeped in cultural history, where icons like David Bowie and Marc Bolan met, the Sex Pistols rehearsed, and the Rolling Stones recorded their first album, complete with Ronnie Wood’s former wife, Jo Wood, amongst the glamorous guestlist. Such an animated backdrop breathes life into the familiar styles of Molyneaux’s archive, whilst a wave of modern prints and fabrics emerged, with the bold return of the Gabriel bag amongst a key element of each look that danced by playfully. Party dresses in bright Warhol inspired prints, translucent organza blouses flashing below orchid coloured capes, whilst 80s bomber jackets and 60s short skirts flounced in between: a Studio 54 revival under new scrutiny, ushering toward the future.

Sporting the ‘Bride’ in a lilac leather, feather-trim coat, Tigerlily Taylor- daughter of Queen drummer, Roger Taylor- took one of the hotspots down the runway and behind the scenes, providing the nail art for the evening. Metallic chrome trench coats followed with pastel pink crochet cardigans, glittery pencil skirts and zebra striped stilettos: a concoction of vivid and gaudy hues narrating the life of parties and street-style of yesterday’s lively Soho. Adorned in headscarves of monogrammed graphics and Quality-Street wrapper fluorescence, neon yellow T-shirt dresses pop against clashing tones of bright teal suiting and hot pink shirts, lime greens with black lapels in a feast of vivacious energy. Clad in a striking purple suit, tailoring collaborator Mark Powell sits beside as the atmosphere turns electric with old-school house tunes spun by an on-show DJ. STUDIO MOLYNEAUX’s SS25 collection brought the jubilant intersection of music and fashion to the dancefloor, seamlessly merging the past with the present in a new reincarnation of Amy’s rich experience in the industry.
