As her debut showcase, it was vital that Pinghe made an impression with her SS14 collection. With her many acclaimed accolades and history working with Camilla Staerk, Alexander McQueen and as head designer of Aftershock- it was never a doubt that this collection would astound.
Strong architectural inspiration, structured
silhouettes and irresistible fitting created a collection that captivated all.
The attention to peplums and protruding trousers created beautiful silhouettes
that elevate and accentuate sophistication and elegance through the form of the
female body.
Lazer-cut details and the use of organdie
formed delicate dresses that were perfectly feminine. The combination of
exquisite detail with leather trims and garments created the perfect
juxtaposition of soft and hard.
This juxtaposition created the image of
strong women who are confident within their feminity and demand authority.
Black lips and badger-esque hair provided the idea that Penghe is a collection
for powerful women.
A minimalistic monochrome colour palette
and clean-cut lines created a highly contemporary collection- however this
collection was far from ordinary and Pinghe has created an eponymous
collection.
