The
Isabel Garcia SS15 collection hit the Fashion Scout catwalk in style
this afternoon as creative director Elliott James Frieze displayed
billowing chiffons and intricately detailed silks drawing upon Asian
influences throughout the collection.
Antique, watercolour prints
came to life in delicate, airy silhouettes all exuding an elegant,
ultra feminine aesthetic, cinched waists juxtaposed against floating
palazzo trousers and chiffon skirts to create a striking balance of
structure and fluidity. Dragonfly and butterfly print featured
heavily through abstract printed chiffons and hand embroidered satin
textures.
Attention to detail is key throughout Frieze's collection
with screen printing, foiling, embossed leathers and elaborate bead
work taking centre stage. Accessories are oversized, with thick
belts, elongated white scarves and giant tasselled bags taking to the
catwalk all in sumptuous muted leathers. A series of beaded lace
pieces offers a sleeker more defined silhouette to the collection as
full skirted pleated dresses provide a stunning contrast.
Kimono
style dresses in muted shades of peach, aqua, lime and yellow
effortlessly glide down the catwalk, beautifully embellished and
trailing tassels in contrasting tones. A diverse colour palette
ranges from muted pastels to lavish jewel tones as Isabel Garcia
introduce us to their take on Asian inspired design.
