Maticevski
The AW 2013 collection at the LMFF was divinely executed, delivering striking silhouettes along with Maticevski’ s signature elegance. Many of the pieces shown were right on target with the major fashion trends of the season. There were peplum silhouettes along with statement collars and shoulders. Black leather found perfect partners in chic lilac and a cool gold tone forming the consistent palette throughout the ready to wear collection. Two dresses featured in the show( one long in white, and one midlength in black) are set to become Maticevski classics; the dresses’ embellished peplum-effect details through the waist accentuating curves and a strong, structured shoulder adding drama. The bridal collection was somehow less cohesive and striking but still provided plenty of romance with an avant-garde edge that is sure to appeal to the contemporary woman. Bodices and skirts constructed with delicate fabric were slashed and deconstructed while maintaining a classic ball gown or sheath style. The intricate‘ undone’ mood of the gowns exaggerated their temporal beauty. Another breathtaking fashion moment from a Melbourne master.
