Images of nature printed on silk and spliced into geometric cut, impeccably tailored dresses and gowns.
Falls collection is obviously inspired by nature, not a supprising subject for Erdem Moraillglu, whos twin sister makes geography and natural history documentaries. Though the elegant hourglass shapes and floor sweeping silk won't encourage roughing it.
I love the peter pan collar, the puffed sleeves (3rd image from bottom has it all) and the amazing effect created through the quilting of the printed silk on the skirt of the gown. Other pieces were done in a dusty gray lace, some looks incorporating brilliant teal and red embroidered organic shapes peaking through the lace, crawling out like vines through leaves.
Some of the day time dresses done in wool have applique silk sections, the print of which looks like a beautiful washed out forest floor.
The vision is complete-the boots (omg) came out in rusty red as well as prints to match the gowns. The hair is pulled back and wind blown, faces are clean. Casting was dead on as well- Lindsey White and Imogen Morris Clark bring Morallioglus' vision to life.
Beautiful Post.
