Deadly Ponies Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Founder and creative director Liam Bowden’s subversion of the traditional approach to leather accessories, the brand’s MBFWA debut featured a PVC capsule offering, citing the mysterious allure of talismans as a key influence behind the collection.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow on a four-day yoga bender at the Mii Amo Resort in Sedona, Arizona, hiding from the paparazzi after a Goopy blunder about yet another ‘conspicuous uncoupling.’
WEAR IT TO: Sunset cocktail hour at Seminyak hotspot, Potato Head, to enjoy a spicy margarita with your accessory bling on full display.
FIRST READ: Titled, ‘Devotee’, the New Zealand-based leather goods brand focused on a moody color palette for their latest collection, which the brand presented against tribal-inspired silk printed shirts and a mix of cobalt and pale pink pants, styled with bare feet and pared-back makeup.
BEST LOOK: A purple scooped bucket bag with a scarf tied around the handle, worn with a matched cross-body satchel and a white leather corporate-style tote.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Waist bags reimagined as streetstyle-friendly accents, worn over the shoulder, crocodile-print clutches in bright purple and orange, clear PVC totes with inner satchel detail.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “How cool is the upside-down Olive tree in the middle of the room – definitely the best set design of the week.”
COLOR WHEEL: Lavender, powder pink, yellow, purple, black, cobalt, taupe, silver.
