February 21, 2008 Noki A/W 08 by Anthony Symonds Brightons’ finest and all round nice guy JJ, AKA Noki is fast becoming fashions worst kept secret. His genre defying antics reference anything and everything from new age travellers to Paris Couture yet he manages this clunky mix like Grandmaster flash; F-F-F-Flash cuts so fine. Hoxton posturing aside beneath the visual puns and reference meltdown this is serious stuff. Naff 80’s party dresses (a house signature) Chunky hand knits, thonging, fringing and plenty more besides get re-appropriated in this, thoughtful and highly skilled whirlwind tour of the East London fashion vernacular. I sense a right little national treasure in the making. Give that man a bit of duchess satin and a Couture House immediately! See more pictures from the show
