The collection highlights sophistication with an element of playfulness
Fabrication
wilde beauty
Highlighting the perfection of womanhood through her imperfections and the acceptance of her flaws. Inspired by The Picture of Dorian fray, the woman, unlike the protagonist, learns to completely admire the journey of ageing
At its core the collection is clean is its silhouettes but interesting in its use of fabric. Each delivery is reflective of the stage of life the woman is in - from youthful, lively green and mellowed purple, to mature rich navy.
With a muted color palette we incorporate bright levels of green, white and lavender to show that ageing although percieved as daunting is in fact beautiful and exciting
cfda
Combining the authentic look and feel of Southwestern silhouettes with a modern touch. Heavily inspired by Spanish Stucco style cottages. With a muted color palette ranging from soft olives to earthy browns and creams we design for the woman who is not afraid to let her creative side roam free
