In an effort, perhaps, to escape forever being known as the designer of Björk's Oscars swan dress, Macedonian-born, London-based designer Marjan Pejoski fled the scene of the crime, as it were, and staged his Fall 2002 collection in Paris.While Pejoski's beaded re-creation of Indian erotica recalled the designer's Spring 2001 collection (which featured Disney cartoon characters in pornographic poses), this show was rated PG. Suede anklets and boots gave a Peter Pan feel to coats and dresses that bloomed with embroidered foliage, flowers and butterfly wings. Pejoski's signature beadwork added some flash throughout, while patchwork jackets looked like they had been crafted by a savage child with a natural gift for needlework. The collection was strongest when it combined whimsy with discipline, as in the navy man-sized, sleeveless jacket embroidered with water lilies.Though Pejoski's collection was very much attuned to London's currentLord of the Ringsfixation, it nonetheless marked a development in the designer's career, showing that he could deliver a signature collection without gimmicks.

In an increasingly corporate fashion climate, Marjan Pejoski seems to be intent on just having fun. This season he turned his rose-strewn runway into a dramatic fashion aviary.Pejoski's clothes are not exactly everyday basics—unless your idea of a go-anywhere look is a pair of fur hot pants, high boots and a bat-sleeved, wide-knit sweater with a gigantic beaded peacock appliqué. Other options included a giant net top with dangling trompe l'oeil plumage, and a bodysuit embellished with a feathery creature whose generous wingspan somehow failed to conceal the wearer's breasts. How to top off the madness? Consider an ostrichlike creation with a long neck and head that needed to be constantly held up, or Pejoski's closing outfit, which literally turned Alek Wek into a dazzling swan.

Marjan Pejoski's game-inspired presentation left no doubt that unbridled creativity is alive and well in London. A group of children cleverly disguised as a tulle chess set opened the show, their costumes blurring as they spun about madly on a checkerboard floor.A set of Vegas ladies of leisure followed, appropriately clad in draped jersey dresses with rhinestone accents and bejeweled cartoon characters that were simultaneously endearing and wickedly lascivious (Minnie and Mickey were far too close for comfort on a billowing top, and Felix the Cat seemed too at ease on a tiny bikini). Several net dresses that left nothing to the imagination and a strategically placed bunny-ear top were also part of the madness. The tamer pieces of a highly original collection were denim skirts and jeans with playing-card stitching on the back pockets, slinky pegged trousers, and a baseball jacket with gold sleeves and a plunging neckline.
