PPQ of Mayfair

Have you seen the Spring/Summer Collection from the London design house PPQ of Mayfair? The runway was SICK! It featured great styling with an insanely fabulous cast of black models. Models including Sessilee Lopez, Kinee Diouf, Jeneil Williams and Kaya strutted the catwalk adorned in braid embellished Nefertiti buns and the season's most sought-after trends in geometric/tribal prints and polka dots.

Here's a little background on the brand from their website.

In east London, 1992, Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker created fashion label PPQ, and with it came the inimitable style that continues to set the beat for London’s fashion drum today. From the early days there were zeitgeist design moves; PPQ spearheaded the drainpipe jean revolution dressing music maker’s including Peter Doherty, and the label’s signature smock dresses and mini, modern cocktail gowns became fashion insider staples. Fashion’s best kept secret inevitably rolled off tongues and on to London Fashion Week’s official show calendar to showers of success. Today, the design duo compose cutting-edge collections in a spectrum of vivid colours, strong shapes, bold prints and elaborate fabrics to a fanfare of today’s style icons and artists including Agyness Deyn, Kirsten Dunst, Sienna Miller, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Daisy Lowe, Alexa Chung, Adele, Peaches and Pixie Geldof, Little Boots, Ben Grimes and Portia Freeman.

Marrying music with style, PPQ also run a record label, 1-2-3-4 Records, with acts including Whitey, The Bishops, The White Sport, Trafalgar, Objects and Cosmetique. 1-2-3-4 Records hosts an annual festival in Shoreditch, London, which fast became a UK summer festival highlight.
