Delpozo F/W 2016 – Review

THE DOCKET: From covetable sculptural outerwear to embellished childlike pieces given an adult edge through masterful layering – there’s nothing robotic about the romance in Delpozo’s frosty future (and once again the collection can’t help but invoke thoughts of Disney’s Frozen!).
TOP INSTA LOOK: Oversized Victorian coats, embellished cocktail gloves and Wizard of Oz-inspired sparkly pointed stacked creepers.
BEHIND THE SCENES: The moving beast that forms the #glamsquad behind Italy’s feted second royal family – ala the Ferragnis – and the other Euro bloggers battling the Westside Highway wind tunnel for the perfect nonchalant street style shot.
OFF PROBATION: A whimsical neutral kimono-style coat with 3D flower-embellished sleeves.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A voluminous draped jacket with cut-out arm holes and giant side bow in pink and black velvet jacquard, sure to keep you warm next time you plan to kidnap Dalmatian puppies during the next polar vortex.
INSPIRED BY: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, Alice in Wonderland and Bejeweled Classic (the “Zen” version, where you never die and remain free to play for harmonious purgatory).
POP CULTURE-NOD: Featuring strong references to geometry, architecture and nature, the bold pieces are sure to be a favorite among feted fashion folk keen to flip the finger at every arithmetic and biology teacher that flunked them along the way.
WEAR IT TO: Look ladylike on the imaginary red carpet of your next stiff Upper East Side dinner party where you plan to shed your white gloves – and your inhibitions – at the door before jumping down the rabbit hole, one dirty martini at a time.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “Is Metropolis the one with Rob Pattinson?”
SPOTTED: Ken Downing, Linda Fargo, Chiara Ferragni, Valentina Ferragni, Olivia Palermo, Connie Wang, Veronika Heilbrunner, Leaf Greener, Gala Gonzalez, Miroslava Duma.
COLOR WHEEL: Silver, gold and bronze metallic textures, earthy hues, royal purple and canary yellow crepe.
BEATS: A piercing classical score with enough chills to keep you cold through the diversion into gypsy jazz.
