Louise vs Louise

Louise vs Louise

I know it’s a cheap trick, but ain’t it fun when two people have similar names and you can compare them nicely side by side? A case in point being Misses Louise Gray and Goldin, talented upstarts of the London scene, both showing this week.

Louise Goldin: On the whole, it’s chic, it’s cute, the sherbert colours are sweet, there are some great tattoo-y tights, and the shiny spiky shoes are ace. Plus who wasn’t waiting for the comeback of the cone bra? Good effort, Goldin.

Louise Gray: Talk about inventive. This is what London is all about for me. Half the collection seems to be made out of plastic bags e.g. a giant pendant (or is it a bag?) in baby pink, and a belt made out of those particularly darling blue corner shop bags. Add to that graffiti scrawls, misshapen tulip skirts and cut-outs that reveal coloured belly buttons…and we have a winner.
