Transylvania
born designer Dora Abodi, now based in Milan with numerous
accolades, presented
her debut collection at Fashion Scout today.
She
is famed
for her baroque futurism signature, presenting
robotic tendencies across her SS15 collection. Abodi’s roots are
revealed with the dark and super heroine style that runs throughout
her previous collection.
This
season she continued with her signature futuristic pattern prints,
inspired by past and future classical art and religious rituals with
high technology. The collection sees a mix of metallic, royal blue,
rose gold, champagne silver and mesh black and white. Different
fabrics used across the collection included print silks, leather,
pearls and cabochons, silk organza, metallic gold lame, jacquard and
embroidery.
On
the first half of the show, mesh black top and knee length skirt with
a blazer appeared within the prints which were rich, vivid and
organic. As the show progressed, the collection introduced feminine
concepts.
Evening
gown, pencil skirt and white embodied floral collars all blended into
the collection. A dark romantic vibe with heavily smoked eye make-up
and black wigs featured. Towards the end of the show, Abodi surprised
the audience with horns and white graffiti on the model's shoulders
and faces.
Abodi’s
aesthetic is exaggerated and hyperbolic and she has succeeded in
producing an interesting statement pieces for the fashion-forward
woman.
