Let's talk about going off the grid.
We all do. You hear people saying how they want to get away from technology and social media to take in what really matters, but few of us ever do that. This is what inspired Edeline Lee's Autumn/Winter 2016 collection. We were greeted with with a monochrome mirrored set filled with heaps of shredded paper, and models that couldn't look more Angelina Jolie if they tried.
The set really complimented the clothes, both in colour and style. The pieces were functional yet relaxed and oh so chic. Unstructured coats made out of virgin wool boucle were edged with 3D piping, and almost engulf that body like a blanket (who's seeing a lot of similarities to the Steventai collection, looks like wearing your duvet just got stylish). The 3D vibe continues onto t-shirts with oversized pockets paired with tailored pleated trousers.
The only hint of a silhouette in these more relaxed pieces were more piping around the waist, and belts on wrap coats. Even smock dresses were blown up to create an almost nightgown shape.
More delicate sophisticated pieces included a double gauze floral dress dotted with floral embroidery and fringing with a more structured slimmer silhouette. The wildest pieces were placed strategically at the back, so that the green lurex lame didn't engulf the more simple pieces. And all of these paired with black walking boots…can't get any cooler than that!
What did you think of this collection? Will you be adopting blanket styling, and who else is obsessed with that green lurex dress?!
