Something's been bothering me since I watched former Fashion Fund winner Corrie Nielsen's Autumn / Winter 2012 show via Livestream this London Fashion Week. No, it wasn't the undeniable echoes of Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood in her designs, nor the wonder at why an American might chose to really run with such a strong Scottish theme (turns out her family roots were originally in the Highlands and this was about exploring her heritage). No, it was the voluminous creation pictured above. The sumptuous, cocoon-like coat which envelopes the wearer in a luxurious, silky cloud. Please don't think me facetious but doesn't it remind you of the bin bags clothes you used to make in front of Blue Peter in the 80s...? Split, scrunch-to-ruffle, staple then stick. It got in my head, now I can't see past it...
