Paul Costello: seasonal brights

Print media loves a colourful winter collection – black pieces, though preferenced by the rest of us, simply don’t photograph well – and Paul Costello has delivered them precisely that with his autumn 2011 offering at London fashion week. In a collection that puts forwards a taken on both men’s and women’s pieces, Costello has kept the coloured tones to winter hues and accurately worked them across a take on men’s velvet.

If there is one annoyance, however, it’s that the men’s sports coats were all sent down the catwalk with their bottom button done up – something of a faux pas in menswear.
