Jay Godfrey’s S/S16 collection was crisp and pristine. The 14-look presentation featured entirely white pieces in silk crepe, lurex tweed and lambskin. Inspired by the late architect David Collins, Godfrey used asymmetry throughout, from hemlines to necklines to cutouts. The result is clean, modern and sexy.
His flouncy skirts and culottes were the perfect silhouette for spring – playful and fresh. Accessorized with wire necklaces, sunglasses and chunky sandals and heeled boots, the whole effect was quintessential Godfrey – uniquely simple and sophisticated. The winning look for me was his sleeveless silk 4-ply maxi coat. Its floor sweeping length and narrow lapel make it the perfect spring investment.
