Models trooped in wearing tailored shirts and skinny pants in urban cuts and lush fabrics. The fabrics had full-bodied texture, and included silks, jacquards, twills, handlooms, gabardine, corduroys, heavy knits and slub yarn heavy weight fabrics.
The clothes had engineered cuts, body-hugging silhouettes and loads of layering. Sexy low slung pants with narrow cuts added to the drama. A wood bark like printed texture was given to the fabrics, in addition to the colour palette that was derived from the colours of the woods - moss, emerald, brown, twilight blue, redwood and cedar. Smudgy potato prints in yellow, red and blue enhanced the rawness of the embellishment.
Dori work, embroideries, boxy pleating, and symmetric paneling were used to augment the three-dimensional textured effect. Stoles and scarves accompanied most of the ensembles, adding a degree of warmth to the look.
Belt skirts over skinny pants saw a comeback on the ramp with this urban chic collection by the designer duo. A particular favourite were the gingham rouched up jackets in varying lenghts.
Somewhere, the collection was successful in transcending the lines of division between ethnic and western wear, and created interesting, out of the ordinary clothing.
