Ashish's 2012 S/S collection is my Grandma's dream come true, I can see her sauntering in to Tuesday drama group in a matching Ashish top and trouser combo and owning the whole village hall. The collection takes his signature sequins and plays with a classic element that lives in everyone's wardrobe, floral. The collection is transgender, Gupta's pieces are collar to hem in sequins which makes something opposing to the typical femininity of a floral pattern and the density of sequins makes a luscious, slithery armour that every woman could love. The models wore conked out boots with flowers hanging out, already imagining Wilkinsons full of girls buying fake flowers, the odd one having to plump for the ones pre-glued in shitty glass vases, trying to prize them out to put in her freshly bought Doc Martens. The models themselves had tears of glitter and matte black lipstick, they looked like hardcore gardeners who use bottles on sticks instead of scarecrows. The whole collection reminds me of Vitalite, yet exudes glamour and luxury, something I'd have thought would be impossible. Ashish is giving the wanker sign to Laura Ashley, it's allotment-fabulous honey.
