Steve J and Yoni P fuk@lfw a/w 07

With Jimmy Choo on the front row of their On|Off show it seems that Korean-born, London-based designers Steve J and Yoni P have friends in high places. Certainly their busy show was a treat and the fun atmosphere, created in no small part by their slightly crackers collection, was a welcome relief after three days (and counting) during which certain individuals have taken proceedings a little too seriously.

Inspired by mystical Tibet, Steve and Yoni sent out a mouthwatering selection of mens and womenswear that has a distinctly tribal feel to it. Texture, pattern and colour (red, purple, burnt orange, olive green) are key elements in pieces that range from woollen coats and knitted jumpers to printed skirts and embroidered blouses. Models, both boys and girls, wore long plaits decorated with specially created metallic discs and we're loving those orange leather 3/4–length leggings with knitted cuffs, the leather top hats and the unisex patent platform slippers with sheepskin trims.
