Renowned
for haute couture and her powerful designs, Zeynep Tosun showcased
another outstanding collection for AW13.
Taking
inspiration from the life of pirates, revolutionary women and the
Victorian era; Zeynep’s collection focussed on exaggerated
shoulders, asymmetric skirts, mid length dresses with detailed hem
lines, flared trousers, boyfriend fit coats and extravagant
Victorian-esque neck shapes.
Whilst
some garments were androgynous, others were quintessentially
feminine, with fabrics including embroidered leather, sheer mesh,
velvet and rough silk, juxtapositioned to create a dramatic but
elegant aesthetic. The colour scheme consisted of caramel, tabacco
brown, mustard, black and a rich regal red. Footwear was undeniably
impressive, in the shape of wooden heeled western style embroidered
leather, over the knee boots.
