REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
LONDON, February 21, 2012
By Maya Singer
Joseph's grunge-inspired Resort collection came out of pretty much nowhere to become a blockbuster for the brand: Those checks and diaphanous florals have been in stores for a while now, and the demand for them shows no signs of abating. The Joseph collection for Fall seems to have been designed using the same formula that made Resort such a winner: In place of the grunge toughness, there were biker leathers and a military inflection; rather than the feminizing florals, there were ruffles and lace. And as always with Joseph, the collection was studded with top-notch knits and the kind of coats and jackets you wear to the point of disintegration.One of the fresh ideas that designer Louise Trotter introduced this season was sweater dressing: The collection was full of ribbed tops, dresses, and skirts that were made to be layered. Another new element was ponyskin, which looked particularly good in a muted leopard print used in coats, pencil skirts, and bags. Elsewhere, Trotter traded in the punchy, Joseph-signature intarsia handknits for Peruvian-inspired ponchos and fringed sweaters with a more muted charm. All in all, this was a collection well stocked with knockout pieces—curly coats and camo fur, zigzagged angora-blend turtlenecks, ruffled dresses, and track pants in a soft gray lace-printed silk—that were delivered with the typical Joseph understatement. But this time, when the collection starts flying out of stores, no one is going to be surprised.
