Titled ‘Autour d’un Point’ after Frantisek Kupkas’s painting
of a succession of small shapes which form abstract circles.
You can see a black and white version of the painting cleverly incorporated in to his animal print.
This season’s
collection sees circular shapes of metallic adornments over soft fabrics,
metallic circular embellishments on skirts and dresses emulating the painting...
and sequins overlapping to create the illusion
of 3D studded pattern on oversized pockets...
..., pauldrons and waistlines.
The oversized metallic pockets bring
dimension and interest to the little black dress
and glamour to the long simple
jackets.
The black and white abstract
print is a breath of fresh air as an alternative to wearing a pure animal
print.
Also inspired by Diana Vreeland, his muse for the season,
and for her ability to blend hard and soft elements, his collection plays on
all things contrasting- light and shade, day and night, hard and soft.
Like the painting the colour palette is contrasting black
and white...
with metallic hues of silver and gold.
This collection seemed to have something for everyone:
the
more structured dresses,
the long flowing dresses
soft blouses with oversized frilled sleeves,
tailored
trouser suits,
a 60’s take on space age wear with metallic embellishments
lots of bling
and a
tribal nod with a modern twist from the abstract print.
Oh! And did I mention I absolutely love his print!
