Peter Jensen: Screen Testing
Peter Jensen's quirky intelligence and clever cheekiness has always been apparent within his collections. This screen-test paints a very charming portrait of the designer's general disposition. Thanks to Natalie, manager at Gravitypope Tailored Goods Vancouver for the tip (via Cultures In Between)!

Peter Jensen's profile on London Fashion Week's homepage sums up the line's personality very nicely:Name: Peter Jensen
How long have you been showing at LFW? Jensen launched his collection for Autumn/Winter 2001.
Describe the style of your designs in three words. “Very nice clothes.â€
What is inspiring you at the moment? “Alison Steadman.â€
What's new? Jensen is busy not only with his own line, but also collaborations with Topshop and Falbe, a tailoring brand from his native Denmark.
What do you love about London? “My home, Sunday lunch and stylist Lucy Ewing.â€
Jensen's clothes take the fun and homespun charm of fashion without losing the quality in tailoring and fabrics. The new fall arrivals are feel-good wonderful all around. This is no surprise with the A/W '08 collection taking inspiration from the character of Candice-Marie in Mike Leigh's 1976 television movie Nuts in May. The result is full of imaginative knits with a distinctive hand-made aesthetic.
