SHOW: Yeojin Bae – Resort 2017
LOCATION: The Theatre, Carriageworks
DATE: May. 16
START TIME: 12PM
TOP INSTA LOOK: Off-the-shoulder Herve Leger-esque bandage dresses likely to wind up on Kylie Jenner’s Instagram feed by way of a sexy Hollywood selfie. Mish-mashed rose gold earrings complemented natural makeup and undone hair styling, giving the collection a classy edge.
OFF PROBATION: Sheer lace front zip-up dresses in sorbet candy pink and lime green, paired with oversized black underwear.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A red mini dress worn under a sleeveless matching trench, the ultimate power combination to wear ahead of a make-or-break pitch with your industry arch nemesis. The look was also mirrored in a nude palette, for those days when you’re more focused on blending in.
INSPIRED: By the yachting lifestyle on the Amalfi Coast, where the fine line between work and play is conveniently blurred. Think Amal Clooney on a working holiday enjoying a romantic evening out in Rome.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Think Sophia Lauren on the Cannes Film Festival circuit, or the sort of wardrobe The Blonde Salad’s Chiara Ferragni might wear while on tour in L.A.
WEAR IT TO: Your next cheeky vacation to a five-star villa in Capri, then again at your luxe Christmas Day shindig, where the designer’s fitted dresses and cheeky cut outs have the desired effect of inciting envy about your banging figure from your undesirable cousins.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Do you think we’ll be able to sneak into Oscar de la Renta on Friday?” – several fashion students discussing the limits of their on-site fashion week passes.
SPOTTED: Designer and WAG Terry Biviano and TV presenter Nikki Phillips.
COLOR WHEEL: Dark green, bold red, nude, black and white.
BEATS: A mash-up of gypsy-style resort and rock dance tunes.
THE DOCKET: The ultimate ‘resort’ collection, the designer’s latest offering requires zero effort to transition directly to the backs of the jetset crowd boarding their next luxury yacht to anywhere warm with glistening water and an endless supply of Veuve Clicquot. For those unable to make it to an overseas dock this summer, the designer’s off-the-shoulder constructed dresses, sexy lace and long paneling pieces are equally suited for a day at the polo (also featuring an unlimited stream of Veuve). Softer shades of blush, white and green provided a romantic delicacy to sculptured, harsher pieces, making a play on feminine elegance set to ride you through the warmer months.
