London Fashion Week Looks We Love: Richard Malone Reinventing The Stripe

It's not just about the horizontal stripe anymore.

We Love...

Richard Malone’s autumn winter 2018 fashion show at London Fashion Week moved away from conventional horizontal or vertical stripes. Instead lines ran in a variety of directions, intersecting and blurring into each other in a psychedelic fashion.

Why It Works

Stripes have been reinvented countless times - from interweaving them with flowers to rainbow colour-scapes - but now millennial designer Malone has given us a fresh way to wear this staple, and we love the optical illusions created by the unusual lines.

A quick DIY way to get this look at home is to wear layers of stripes all heading in different directions.

This works well when you layer different textures and types of stripe.
