RICH OPULENCE A|W 17

Take comfort this season and delve into the luxurious nature of 'Rich Opulence.' Designed in house; each piece offers a thought provoking journey through cultural architecture. Clasping onto the dominant colours of red, blue, purple and hints of nude pink, the collection effectively encapsulates the aesthetic of stain glass art. Moreover, the spectrum of colours seamlessly transition from Autumn to Winter. 'Rich Opulence' introduces subtle primacy through the support of exaggerated design features at the sleeve, whilst maintaining classic silhouettes to achieve the desired hourglass figure. The luxurious fabric selection contributes to the fit of the collection. Draped georgettes are used to perfectly encase the body, whilst the tulle emphasises feminine curves. Furthermore, the sheer layering compensates for select pieces in the collection which are sleeveless or shorter in length and provide warmth. Most pieces such as the jumpsuit and evening gowns achieve modesty and comfort for the cooler season. Rich jewel toned embellishments are hand-beaded onto the georgette, carrying clusters of sequins, that glimmer along the decollete and sleeves. The placement of these finishes allows each piece to evoke opulence without appearing overpowering. Furthermore, the rich hints of colour peek through the golden thread-work, accentuating the beading whilst achieving depth.
