Pereira Fitzgerald Resort 2019 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The utilization of ladylike accents, a rich color palette and masculine tailoring to pay homage to femininity through strength. Think Wall Street power dressing – minus the shoulder pads.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Taylor Swift on a demure directive from her PR team after a few months in hiding following a botched relationship with a former boy-bander. Think Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis grabbing brunch in the sun after kicking-off the morning with a paddle-board session in Hawaii.
WEAR IT TO: Get your toes wet at a sunset wedding at the St. Regis Bali Resort in Nusa Dua, before settling in for an evening of spicy margaritas while you dial-in to a flurry of conference calls with overseas suppliers ahead of the launch of your new sunglasses line.
FIRST READ: Designers Bella Pereira and Gemma Fitzgerald heralded their MBFWA debut via a collection that walked the line between classic ladylike looks and sharp, dramatic silhouettes to create a vision of the ultimate femme fatale. Think breezy, Mara Hoffman-esque maxi dresses, Tibi-inspired workwear separates and functional pieces that would be just as at home on Bondi beach as a client meeting in Hong Kong.
BEST LOOK: A black silk maxi dress, featuring spaghetti straps and tiered ruching, styled with taupe suede flats and barely-there makeup.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: A focus on sustainable fashion, with all pieces made from 100 percent pure silk, bucket bags with metal hardware details, neutral pointed-toe flats and slate midi-heels worn throughout, keeping the focus on the striking nature of the clothes.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “This collection reminds me of Milly’s New York Fashion Week offering a few seasons back – everything is so wearable it’s delicious. Or maybe I’m just hungry, I haven’t eaten since yesterday.”
COLOR WHEEL: Fuchsia, black, powder blue, white, slate, champagne, taupe, tan, cream, denim.
