It may be only February but it’s already been a big year for the London-based fashion designer Roksanda Ilinčić. At the beginning of the month she was presented with an MBE from Princess Anne for her services to fashion while this week the Hollywood star Zendaya gave a sneak peek of Ilinčić’s latest collection when she wore a tailored look not fresh off the catwalk but, as her stylist Law Roach put it, “before the runway”.
On Saturday the rest of the collection was unveiled during a catwalk show held at Tate Britain on day two of London fashion week. Zendaya’s layered look consisting of an aubergine-coloured blazer with matching midi dress and trousers opened the show.
