T
his season saw a
plethora of leather
and variations of faux
leather utilised differently
to create a range of
garments that were not
just limited to leather
skirts or outerwear.
ot just limited
to a couple of
brights placed together,
colours sprouted
out in an effortlessly
scattered manner with
many contrasting and
harmonious colour
segments placed
together on garments.
This juxtaposition
took the aid of several
techniques and materials
such as differently
coloured ruffle layers
placed sequentially, a
clash of printed florals,
brushstrokes, tie and dyes
and placement prints
on coordinated sets,
dresses and accessories,
sequins of varying hues
positioned randomly
or a simple layering of
multiple fabrics paired
together to create a
single garment.
Most common of these
leather variations was
patent leather as it was
used in various dresses,
skirts and tops, finished
using techniques such as
draping, ruched panels,
gathering and other fabric
manipulation forms.

away from conventional
beige and blacks as
maroon, olive, yellow, red,
earthy browns and even
lime green made their
way onto leather pieces.
Some labels such as Fendi
also manipulated the
surface of these leather
fabrics to give them
logoed texture finish.
