Birthday Suit blew us away last year with their Freida Kahlo-inspired floral-print body stockings. Now they're back with a winter collection of Dries-style African prints, Alice in Wonderland-esque key prints and loads of primary colours.
Saturated colours for winter will be most welcome by your fellow humans when you're trudging around in the drizzle and all others are wearing black polyester. Dries pulled out the African references last year, and a similar pattern is re-worked here with creepy death eye butterflies in a unique print.
The key print on the body stocking doesn't have quite the same 'stop in your tracks' grab that the Kahlo equivalent did. Keys are right on the Alice in Wonderland trend that's going about since that Tim Burton made a new film. Given that the book has been around since 1865, I don't really know how the new film has suddenly managed to influence fashion quite so much. Even Selfridges have an entire Alice Department. Reminds me very much of when little kids learn a swear word and think there's no way you could ever have heard it before or know what it is. Keys, bottles, eat me; seen it, read it heard it before.
