Aurelio Costarella
With devotees ranging from Rihanna to Dita von Teese, Costarella never fails to deliver on pure old-fashioned glamour. In his AW 2013 collection, the Australian designer’ s modern take on classic femininity was showcased along with a few little twists and surprises.
Texturally lush, Costarella played with feathers, beading, fur, leather and silk throughout the collection paying homage to 1930s Old Hollywood and Parisian decadence.
The ready-to-wear portion of the collection consisted of a muted palette of browns, beiges, olive and gold. With many pencil silhouettes and feminine accents, the waist was paramount. High necks and puffy ruches shoulders in unexpected fabric combinations gave a quirky lightness to the collection despite the very-classic shapes and colors. Again, Aurelio Costarella provided his breathtakingly distinctive aesthetic take on femininity.
