Okay, so I know I am about a pre season late on the uptake of
this one… But better late than never, hey?
This collection though...
It may be one of the most inspiring ranges that I have seen in a long time. I often reflect on my days at college – where we were encouraged to push boundaries, with unusual styling and silhouettes and the unique details and finishes on our garments never went unnoticed.
It is very
different to the price driven, commercial facet of the business that I ended up
working in.
This collection, by Alessandro Michele, takes me back to those days… The
bold, colourful, eclectic days of creation for expression.
It is the Trompe l'oeil that initially caught my eye in this
collection. The illusion of belts, bows and ruffles - Details brought to life
by shimmering fabric. Quirky shoes and accessories that stand out, despite the dramatic garments. The combination of lightweight chiffons with shiny embossed brocade
and the mixing of bold colours and different prints somehow works really well together - exciting
my eyes and inspiring my mind.
