London Yacht Rock! PPQ.

Nautical fashion chic: Riviera stripes ran like a seam through the London collection.

I wish I could say it was me who coined the phrase ‘yacht rock’ to describe PPQ’s triumphant, buzzy, colourful fashion show tonight. And so would the label’s designers – Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker  – who say this year that they are ‘very into making up words.’ But it was neither of us. That honour must go to Shingai Shoniwa, the feisty, elegant, stylish singer of Noisettes fame, who used the term to describe the heady blend of smart nautical stripes and psychedelic fashion prints, the floaty chiffon in electric green and scarlet, and the bright paisley flashes that ran through tonight’s show!
