Critics' comments

Jensen has consistently received considerable industry support from many of the most respected international fashion critics, editors and writers: Harriet Quick, British Vogue: ''Cleverly conceived, quirkily humorous clothes.... both distinctive and of the moment.'' (www.vogue.co.uk) Sarah Mower, Vogue runway: ''The light-hearted Peter Jensen experience has become a moment to cherish. Jensen’s clothes never seem to be overly styled, but ... capture the gist of things without seeming to try.'' (www.style.com) Women's Wear Daily: ''A breath of fresh air... Jensen offers the cool basics that every girl should have in her wardrobe.'' (www.wwd.com) James Anderson, ponystep.com ''In the case of his womenswear, specifically, the stylistic inspiration he has routinely drawn from infamous female spirits such as actress Sissy Spacek, artist Cindy Sherman or disgraced Olympic ice skater Tanya Harding, for example, have always ensured that both the reference points and overall results are appealingly left-of-centre yet always wearable.'' (www.ponystep.com) Tim Blanks, BOF: ''The challenge of how best to show their clothes is inspiring more and more designers to spectacularly creative flights of fancy. Peter Jensen's collaboration with the American artist Laurie Simmons produced one of the most enjoyably bizarre—and bizarrely complex—presentations to date.'' i-D: ''Creatively and technically brilliant... visually and conceptually captivating.'' (www.i-dmagazine.co.uk) Susannah Frankel, Another Magazine: ''Witty, pretty, proudly individual and imaginative in the extreme.'' (www.independent.co.uk)
