L’Oréal Fashion Week – Day 4



Fashion-week essentials in hand (coffee cup, camera and notebook), we hit the tents to see what the Day 4 designers had in store. 
Born from the vision of two talented designers, the League of Lovers & Thieves show reflected an appreciation for the architecture of nature and the universe. Soft, organic fabrics were draped over the body, but detailed enough to give the clothing structure and form. 
Evan & Dean showcased a clever combination of colours, textures and shapes. From glistening whites and charcoal greys, to bright corals and golds, each piece was adorned with bold flower appliqués – truly functional, wearable art! 
Effortless drop-waist dresses and fluttering accordion-pleat skirts made their way down Renata Morales’s runway. Punctuated by oversized, black-lacquer, bouquet headbands, the dresses-only collection was incredibly intricate. The faint glimmer of sequins beneath layers of gossamer, the landscape and quirky cartoon prints and the heavily appliquéd bodices were simply stunning. 
Best known for their super-soft leathers, Rudsak certainly didn’t disappoint. Their loyal followers will delight in secret-agent trenches, skin-tight stovepipes, tough biker jackets and supple shoulder bags. If you’re not ready for a head-to-toe leather look, new for spring are waxed cotton, twill and nylon pieces with subtle skin details (think piped pockets and trims). 
Stay tuned for more L’Oréal Fashion Week coverage from the front row!
