Though based in Guangzhou, China, Daniel Fletcher’s second collection for Mithridate tapped directly into both modern and heritage British style codes.
Social media has recently popularized the term ‘Britcore’ – a blend of English countryside charm and the raw energy of London streetwear. Fletcher captured the essence flawlessly, pairing preppy rugby shirts, street-smart jackets, and sturdy masculine footwear with knee-length skirts adorned in sequins and delicate feminine details.
For example, look 11 combined a cropped, double-collared rugby shirt with a timeless brown leather jacket, styled alongside a low-rise green sequined skirt, finished with a frayed underskirt and rope-tied waistband.
A pink suede overnight bag delivered an unexpected pop of color to the look.
Variations on the theme included a navy pleated-front Harrington jacket shown with a skirt covered in burgundy sequins and a low-slung logo belt, plus a cream one-button tuxedo blazer and a cream skirt with green floral decals.
In other cases the slim skirt was replaced with a puff ball, another of London’s key styles.
Mary Jane-style sneakers, ghillie loafers, and high-vamp pumps, shown with and without socks, finished the looks.
