The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2024 - Issue 36

bitecatwalk TOLU COKER FASHION WEEK LONDON Autumn/Winter 2024 S leek and playful, Tolu Coker’s runway show reimagined how a female profes- sional would look through the gaze of a high-end fashion designer. The looks changed the body’s proportions, with some sporting ultra-low waists or delightfully short ties whilst maintaining undisputed business. The large bowler hats and well-cut tailoring illusions tricked the eye as the show continued. As the show transitioned to less professional silhouettes, Coker’s stylish whimsy became the focus. Not that the initial garments had none of this personality; the heart of Coker’s designs are the unusual details, like the waistcoat ensemble. The look was made predominantly from dark blue suit material, with light grey fabric running along the edge of the leg and cutting in at the waist to give the illusion of a much smaller silhouette. https://www.tolacoker.com
