Self Portrait S/S 2018 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The fierce femininity of the late 70’s and early 80’s – think the late photographer Patrick Lichfield capturing intimate moments between Bianca and Mick Jagger at play while chilling at his adopted home of Mustique in the Caribbean.
POP-CULTURE NOD: The sort of wardrobe Amélie might pack for a trip to Montreal to audition for the latest Cirque du Soleil show.
WEAR IT TO: Your maiden visit to the Champs-Élysées in Paris with a freshly-baked baguette in one hand and a worn copy of a Yeats poetry classic in the other.
FIRST READ: Striped suiting and asymmetrical separates featuring a polka-dot print and frill detailing graduated to floaty chiffon dresses in sunshine yellow and navy, while a series of one-shouldered body-con dresses with a ruffled neckline marked a significant departure from the brand’s signature pastel midi dresses that explode annually on social media come prom.
BEST LOOK: A camel strappy chiffon dress with a babydoll neckline and polka-dot print with bowtie flyaway detailing, worn with white flats.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Designer Han Chong delivered a fresh update on the hipster top knot, styling buns on the front of model’s hairlines, while leather berets gave the show a utilitarian vibe.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Amanda Steele, Jaime King, Rachel Bilson, Chriselle Lim, Natalie Joos, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Helena Bordon, Danielle Bernstein, Tina Leung, Karen Gillan.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “How many of the infamous pastel Self-Portraits do you have in your wardrobe?”
COLOR WHEEL: Sunshine yellow, navy, black, nude, purple, teal, red, white, grey, rust.
