Zimmermann Spring/Summer 13/14 Lookbook

rescusubeditor@recu.com.au (Rescu Freelance) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:00:00 +0000

High society and youth collide the Zimmerman “Class of 2013” Spring Summer 13.14 collection. Private school blazers and pleated sports tunics are tucked into liquid silk pieces, bringing together fluid and boxy silhouettes. Richly textured brocade, metallic leather and high shine coatings are refined and opulent, whilst neoprene bonded lace and embroidered checks channel a darkly-mischievous boarding school vibe. Colour is monochrome, accentuated with pretty forals, ruffles and pencil-drawn emblems, chandeliers and ribbons by artist Courtney Brims.

Designer Nicky Zimmerman reveals a subversive realm hidden behind an aura of elitist luxury that is full of youthful, irreverent exuberance and delectable detailing.

“Class of 2013” will be arriving in stores from July 2013.

rescusubeditor@recu.com.au (Rescu Freelance) — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:00:00 +0000

The Natasha Gan Spring 2013 collection draws together a kaleidoscope of disparate colours and prints to create a look that is high in drama and thoroughly modern. The bold ‘70s floral print in bold hues and the vibrant cobalt and aquamarine digital print are our top picks, drawing references from vintage tablecloths and sci-fi respectably. The use of symmetrical placement and repetition lead the eye and make a strong statement. The prints are interspersed with simple striped pieces in red and black, with additions of black and white maxi-length dresses with hints of lace and ruffled silk party dresses.

This collection is based on beautiful bold prints and girly frocks that seamlessly transition from day to night;

Sara Phillips Autumn Winter 2013 Look Book

rescusubeditor@recu.com.au (Rescu Freelance) — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:26:17 +0000

Sara Phillips’ AW13 collection Oleander - named for the infamously beautiful, yet poisonous flower combines the designer's penchant for the botanical with innovative digital techniques. Fine hand drawn sketches of shells in black and white are inspired by the illustrations of nineteenth century professor and artist Earnest Haeckel. Elsewhere, a melted floral print and vibrant underwater design are executed in soft silks and sheer layers and finished with scalloped edges and undulating hemlines that mimic the repetition of the natural world.

The collection explores the allure of the inherent darkness and danger of the natural world to exquisite effect, establishing a newfound maturity and sophistication for the designer.

ANU Autumn Winter: Sounds of Palms

rescusubeditor@recu.com.au (Rescu Freelance) — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:57:16 +0000

Fresh from an excursion to Jaipur, anu designer Anita Ben extrapolates on the loose fabrics and signature prints that are her calling-card to create a strong vision of an urban woman in touch with her ancient heritage.

Arresting prints in fine silk georgettes energise Ben’s soft tailoring and detail is added through sequins and hand-sewn thread needlework. The key 'Bandhini' print utilises an old Indian twist-and-tie technique whereby craftsmen colour minute pieces of fabric in an traditional tie-dyeing practise.

Her Autumn Winter collection is both a fantasy and grounded in elegant pieces for contemporary life:
