Rockstar vibes with a hint of 80’s glam capture the essence of the Redemption SS21 collection presented at Milan Fashion Week this September 2020. We find a fusion of elegance and a “dash of rebellion” from Creative Director Bebe Moratti. From blazers to oversized bows, short hemlines and shorts to flowing trains, the mix of feminine pieces with a wild side are created with a bold color palette of hot pink, vivid blue and green, to black and white which ground the collection, along with animal prints. Fabrics and details for the collection are made from certified recycled and organic materials — all part of a rebellious, yet socially responsible attitude.

There’s a simplicity to this season’s collection created with a bold color palette and touches of “ruffled cutouts” for added design interest.

In a digital runway set in a forest, each look appears to have sprung from nature with the use of a range of floral prints and fused with accents of puffed shoulders and sleeves, wrapped neckline, ribbon accents, flowing dresses and slightly exaggerated outerwear for defined contrast. A soft color palette primarily of cream and white is grounded in black with accents of red and chartreuse, creating modern looks with a hint of historical reference and styling.

Newham-based Magpie Project works with children and mothers who are homeless or at risk of homelessness – 80% of whom have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
“All Our Children,” the title of the SS21 collection is inspired by the stories and lives of the people Williams has met at the Magpie Project and also symbolizes the importance of family spirit in a child’s life. Together with the families and illustrator and artist Melissa Kitty Jarram, children’s drawings were transformed into prints for the collection from deadstock, organic and recycled materials. Also of note in this collection are the inclusion of tailored pieces which demonstrate Williams expansive talents, and newly designed bags developed with Tottenham-based specialist Stevan Saville.
