London: For S/S 14, Xander Zhou seamlessly tied together a mélange of inspiration, nodding to English heritage, gangster, and feminine looks, with active and futuristic components. As his most directional collection yet, Zhou pushes full force into unchartered territory, designing for an technology-crazed, post-apocalyptic future — distorting proportions, mixing old with new materials, and using Facebook, Google, YouTube and system errors as inspiration for prints. —Kathleen Tso
