Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XXIII

1 7 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I maxi buttons. Stripes and black and white optical motifs paint frock coats while a myriad of geometric shapes zigzag in vitamin colours across sheaths, capes, quilted satin tops and even fur numbers. This collection rejects perfect coordination bringing verve and modernity throughout the collection. A highly structured black-and-white striped coat is given an ironic twist withmink pompoms as buttons; whimsical skateboards and spinning tops are printed upon sensual silk shirts; geometry’s rigour is smoothed out with the presence of scalloped hem dresses and capes. The collection also makes room for colour block slip dresses in fine pleats. Colours span wisteria, mango yellow, white, vermillion, mud, black and emerald green. Lengths are exclusively midi throughout, and materials are silk, wool, fur, suede, reptile skin, leather, knitwear, buttons, woollen cloth, chiffon and satin. The resulting silhouette evokes the aristocratic woman with a maverick streak, her femininity accentuated by shark’s tooth belts, her girly side showing itself in the printed lining of capes and playful quilted skirts. The geometric zigzag reappears in stitched detailing upon kaleidoscopic ankle boots in suede and lizard skin, and across the handbag collection, even reaching the pendant earrings. This is a collection designed to stir the senses, to invigorate emotions, and reveal that beyond the surface reside all manner of intricacies and details, as if to celebrate the nuances, layers and endless possibilities of the modern woman.
