Jessica Mary Clayton illuminates the greyscale | Hollywood yohana
After having spent most of her formative years in daylong dusk—she was raised in Alberta and studied for a time in Finland—Jessica Mary Clayton now brightens our fashion landscape by illuminating the oh-so-standard palette.
Against too many blacks, whites and a mess of monochrome, Clayton’s most recent line plays a lively riff on the classic prototype. Her latest collection features a broader greyscale, a scheme well known and well loved by many Canadians. Done by Clayton though, grey is translated with a sweeter, softer spin.
Using slates, creams and charcoals, an updated take on a humdrum mosaic, Clayton picks flow-y whites and twilight hues, with just a touch of tie-dye. These work in perfect contrast to the geometric prints that have—at least since Alternative Fashion Week last month—become Clayton’s watermark. And oh, the blues! Call it turquoise. Call it cyan. Whatever you want to call it, the amazing azure-inspired pop of colour makes her Fall 2011 line wearable perfection come autumn.
