The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2023 - Issue 34

bitecatwalk R ecalling his days of studying MA Fash- ion at Central Saint Martins under the direction of professor Louise Wilson, Mark Fast enjoyed tooling around with his first love, the knitting machine, recreating some of his early signature pieces and ex- panding on others for this AW23 collection. The vast wearable range of this knit-focused line was great, featuring everything from event and party looks to business-like suiting to the ever-exciting, casual urban streetwear. All of them are highly well-made and thoughtful of how they would lay upon the body, as knits can be tricky to fit appropri- ately. Mark’s use of bold, autumnal colours of cobalt, mustard yellows, light evergreens, and plums was accented with contrasting pops of neons and pastels for a lovely, somehow seamless flow in the colour scheme. I loved the knitwear dresses with an attached hood and crossed v-necklines—a simple design that adds much-understated style to an oth- erwise ordinary hoodie. https://markfast.com FASHION WEEK LONDON Autumn/Winter 2023 MARK FAST
