Futuristic yet retro, Raf
Simons, created the collection by romancing the past and bringing in the new. With
a hint of 50s ladylike glamour, 60s mod and 70s liberation, the collection
offered a subtle futuristic edge. Vibrant spring colours married the elegance
of Dior’s architectural full skirted skirts and 60’s A Line dresses. Graphic
psychedelic knit bodysuits and interplay of the ribbon strip pleats on the
skirts along with transparent plastic rain coats, printed with floral busy
branches worn over shifts were bold and beautiful. Layer and layer of Guipure
lace and sequins created that graceful romantic moment.
Raf immaculately showed how
the brand has evolved into a modern Couture house and is in the process of
creating the future from its past. And, no, he didn’t play it safe by embracing
the past. The past is just a medium. That was the beauty of this collection.
