Lug Von Siga, a Lasalle Academy graduate is
renowned for her modern, extravagant tailoring and technical
process. In light of this, her AW13 collection was an eclectic
amalgamation of architectural structure and impressive design, set to a Hitchcock soundtrack; eerie and intriguing.
The concept manifested itself through a mostly monochromatic palette, accented with berry hues, metallic silvers and
gold. The fabrication, robust cotton, soft fur, and baroque embossed leather.
Collars were and
high, detached from the body of each garment, with shoes also deconstructed
with a detachable strap around the arch of each foot. Accessories were
minimal; thin fur hats in favour, and detail could be found in the mirror fragments, belts, fabric buttons on
collars, and bejewelled lapels.
VV Brown commented on the collection from her front row spot “I
love the elegance and femininity of the Lug Von Siga brand and how it was
combined with American Psycho-esq music to create that air of mystery. I was
particularly drawn to the gold metallic structured suit”. VV also expressed
her love of the emerging design Fashion Scout showcases on a global scale.
