CITY TROPICS BY MELANIE CICHOS
MELANIE CICHOS ABSCHLUSSKOLLEKTION 2016/2017 KOLLEG FÃœR MODE HLMW9 MICHELBEUERN WIEN, AT
From the bold yet soft natural colours, to the striking and visually stimulating patterns; this collection uses beautiful fabric and carefully thought out design elements to create fashion defying pieces. It is playful, youthful, bold and undeniably cool. The viewer is invited into a world where classic style meets vibes from the 80s and is harmoniously brought together in a new and current way. The Pieces themselves are vibrant and flow beautifully when worn, framing the human figure yet interacting with its usual dimensions. The pieces, while all different and unique in their own way, are bound together by the introduction of strong, angular seam-work contrasted and softened with patterns inspired by nature. These items of clothing incorporate a soft, organic colour palette from Pink to Gold with an unapologetic and intentional coolness.
A Yellow Neon sign lighting up a dark alleyway. A Pink Flamingo standing alone against a Blue sky. A Leopard walking powerfully through the green Jungle it commands. A white fishing net washed up on a Tropical sandy beach. A graceful Snow Leopard hidden in the Himalayas at sunrise. A collection of clothing that stands out from the crowd.
