From the invitation alone for Alpha 60 I had high expectations of both the show and collection. We were impressed when ushered in to the Cargo Theatre, melodies of Beirut playing through the soundsystem, only to be confronted at the start of the show with a graphic film fragment that frames the theme of Alpha 60s summer; a social commentary on the degradation of society. The show moved between textures (knits, jersey, silk), colours (cool greys, strong blacks and graphic prints) and shapes. Their dandy, tailored pieces weres sharp and definitely the strongest, as too their knitwear and bomber jackets and even though the Alpha 60 brand is divided between men and women there were several pieces from the mens line that would appeal to the androgynous dresser.
