AW09 ARMOUR



This season saw Marshall create garments that when worn, acted as a piece or Armour. The body is encased in steel line panels, protected with angular breast plates, concealed contours and moulded hips. The body armour concept allows the pieces to offer the illusion of strength and lend the wearer a sense of security. A recurring theme of women and power are interlined within this collection. Flashes of flesh create a provocative feel, with the use of slashed mini dresses, low scooped back dresses and corseted leather panels. These elements also create a fetish theme and is also representative of women in the 1980s British punk rock era.
