concept

Photos from the kitchen window. A gloomy, rainy morning mood in London. Waking up far too late, slipping into some random clothes half dreaming and half awake and stepping onto a crowded, noisy street feeling misplaced. Flowery pyjamas and bed linen became materials of choice, mixed with essential oversized outerwear, relaxed tailored jackets and hand knitted accessories in shades of blue and grey. Adrian created garments to bring the sensation of feeling at home somewhere. Or perhaps rather, garments accentuating a feeling of alienation in a familiar place.
