An array of textures and colours came through: the ideas
were rooted in the rainforest, taking reference from all elements, plants and
animals. Squawks and coos rang overhead as garments came through with feathers,
from the large and broad to the delicate and fluffy. Some were beautifully hung
individually off the hems of dresses, allowing them to sway with the model’s
stride. The bird of paradise feel was also channelled through extreme length
and coloured fake eyelashes.
Lace was a constant element throughout the collection,
layered over other fabrics or placed next to bare skin – when lace is at it’s
most beautiful. Tailored jackets brought a city chic woman to the Amazon but
maintained the textured feel of the collection through a simple lace panel on
the back. Some lace was peppered with crystals and glitter and used in
cosmopolitan party dresses. This is where I felt the rain coming through – the
droplets reflecting a summer sun.
I’m not afraid to say they were darn right sexy! We at Fashion Scout
could imagine them on the streets of Rome next season.
It is faire to say that Rohmir pushed the boundaries of
design in her collection. The last look appeared after darkness had fallen on
the catwalk. Tiny electric blue lights shone through the top layer of white
lace on a puffed floor length coat with oversized lapels. Its construction
proved that Olga is not only a ready to wear designer.
