Mariam Seddiq Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Designer Mariam Seddiq’s recent trip to native Afghanistan, with each look cited as encapsulating a different slice of her background.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Taylor Swift staging a strategic photo op while holding hands with boyfriend Joe Alwyn over pints of beer at The Flask pub in North London amid rumors of flagging ticket sales for her Reputation Stadium Tour.
WEAR IT TO: Your shift at Cynthia Rowley’s summer pop-up in the Hamptons, before checking into your cabin-like room at Ruschmeyer’s in Montauk and hopping on a bike to head to the beach for tequila shots by the firepit.
FIRST READ: Seddiq flexed her knack for combining contemporary sportswear and hand-embellished details with a tribal flair, building tension through the show by mixing billowy silhouettes and athletic couture with architectural proportions.
BEST LOOK: A strappy min dress in white, powder blue and navy, featuring a silver floral embroidery and a cheeky front cutout, teamed with reflective cat-eye sunglasses and open-toe black stacked mules.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Sporty cropped tops, deconstructed capes with zipper detailing, Zena Warrior Princess-inspired cocktail frocks with oversized sleeves, and floral embellishments in metallic leather.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Lisa Aiken, Kellie Hush, Kelsey Lyle, Glynis Traill-Nash.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I’m not sure if it’s the fact we’re 305 meters above ground or the fact that I’ve had two champagnes on an empty stomach, but I’m feeling a bit bombed right now.”
COLOR WHEEL: Camel beige, wisteria blue, white, black, navy, magenta, olive.
