Structured Elegance
Spring/Summer 2015
Refined uniform qualities reveal strength, by highlighting shape and construction. It sculpts the body to reveal corset like forms, to define a polished identity. Experimenting with contoured lines and angles allows the figure to become cleverly distorted. Period style dress provides a contrasting yet subtle edge to blend and soften the silhouette. Ruffles and pleats give a contrasting feel of glamour and opulence. Buttons and trimmings display detail, whilst lace and beadwork create a graceful appearance. Gold and bronze tones give a superior feel. Cream, soft pink and charcoal grey impliment calm, softer qualities. And khaki green and dark brown allow for distinct variance. Opposing apparels provide another angle of representation. Exploring and showcasing the alternative for women’s fashion.
