London-based designer Steven Tai 's S/S 13 collection, centred around bookish types enjoying all the pleasures of a library. The layers refer to pages in a book as do the woven embossed texture, resembling papyrus. The shredded crepe with embroidered fish embedded underneath the threads is a potently sweet and craft-based gesture from Tai. Every rough edge, awkward silhouette and deceptive tears and gaps in the fabric have a geekish obssessive quality to it as you look up close and it all looks even more complicated than at first glance.
