Imagine Madonna in her music video for “Rain”, add a heavy dose of Rooney Mara grit, and do all this to the sound of burnt tyres and twisted metal.

The last words you’re probably thinking of right now are “refined”, “sophisticated” or “sagacious”. But his latest collection ‘Collision’ proves Carl Kapp isn’t one to let wacky inspirations warp his sense of what looks good on those of us who don’t moonlight as vengeful computer hackers.

The common thread, if you’re calling for a clue, is movement. Flowing silks and luxe drapery pervade each of his collections, so it makes sense that his new Hawksburn boutique would allow for maximum ease of conveyance.

The feel of the store is less killer and more filler, boasting a light and minimal interior brimming with the luxuriant drapery and clean tailoring of his latest soft-meets-structural offering (okay so you could also potentially collide with kitschy Toucan statuettes or a Japanese-style garden, but the main impact is the clothes).

Move yourself on over to Malvern Road to see what has the fashion world going wild.
