Across Cultures

Edward Crutchley's SS21 show references 80's decadence through the lens of Hideo's Gosha's 1986 film Gokudô no Onna-Tachi where two sisters in opposing Yakuza gangs face off against each other in a test of power and blood-ties.

Blending corporate casual and Ottoman kaftans with classic tailoring, frivolous accents and costume jewellery, Crutchley seamlessly combines east and west with opulence and quintessentially British fabrics like houndstooth and Prince of Wales check.

“Edward Crutchley’s spring collection channels the flawless sang-froid of avenging female Yakuza bosses”

Accents like Stephen Jones's gravity-defying ribbon headpieces and Christian Laboutin's patent slippers and pumps with minaudière from the Judith Leiber Archives complete the looks in breathtaking corporate casual meets glamour.

This collection is with its floral opulence and celebration of heritage, is the perfect antidote to the current climate! See the collection video below:
