The show also highlighted the designer's latest jewelry collection for Confluence, an exclusive collective of designer jewelry with the finest crystals from Swarovski. The shapes and forms of the 40 piece collection took inspiration from gowns from Hollywood glamour, from a bygone era amalgamated well with the modern techniques of embellishment, corsetry and styling.
The collection was divided into four groups, each with its own inspiration, fabric and the feminine ideals. These ideals were highlighted with sultry peach, celadon green and floss pink stretch satin gowns in delicate thread embroidery with varied floral motifs. Off-shoulder dresses and flared skirts, hand embroidery in bugle beads, colour-on-colour sequins and Swarovski shimmer crystals added sparkle to the range.
The Satin Sirens collection had a deep rich colour palette of lustrous satin in vermillion red, deep burgundy, midnight blue and dark rose. These red carpet ready gowns are in the shapes of peplums and fitted floor length romance, decorated with corsages and large handmade accessories.
The Post Modern Glamour had floor length gowns and high waited skirts with asymmetrical corsets. Large hand cut mirrors embellished with tonal bead work in mosaic shapes are the epitome of the design.
Freedom and Fantasy was the finale collection consisting of gold, beige and pink floor length gowns. "I believe fashion is the politest way of speaking about sex, but I like the subtle unspoken word, left to the imagination of the wearer.
The glamour and sensuality in this collection comes through the use of sheer and lucid fabrics, the delicate placement of embellishments, the drapes and the unexpected details, and what they reveal or conceal," said the designer.
