Beautiful ornate patterns, leather used as cuffs on skirts and sleeves on jackets.  The grey motorcycle style vest, contrasted with the black skirt with high split was nicely contrasted through tone and texture.

Fluoro structured suits, followed by some with cutouts, combined with the geometric print pieces gave an overall futuristic feeling to the collection.

ELLERY
The first pieces to head down the runway were intricately die-cut patterns demanded a second look. The stand out pieces were obviously the brightest of  gold dresses.

Uncomplicated dresses helped create a relaxed feeling throughout the show. The ‘knit grid’ created interest with the use of a bright colour showing through.

The three-dimensional leather floral pattern included at the opening look was incredible, followed by some abstract prints as bubble-skirts and a form-fitting dress.

The pieces were based around the purple, green, brown fringe made into stripes. These were also used separately by colour to match a flowing skirt or dress, or used over prints.

Flowing dresses with cape-like elements, secretly cinching in a waist. The sparkling skater-style dress was a wonderful piece to close the evening with.

Lots of abstract prints, and bright colour paired with beautifully minimal jackets and flowing skirts.

The first look had us sold at first sight: solid white poke dots over white sheer. Followed by the sketch houndstooth pieces and a stunning tuxedo jumpsuit.

Using silver on white gave the pieces an ethereal beauty, large size sequins made interesting texture, plus beaded details: beaded fringes and jewelled lace, there was plenty of wonderful details to take in.

Gold and silver in lace over white, with long white flowing satin, and alternating between the white looks with shimmering black sequins.

Incredible abstract floral prints coupled with sequins on loose shapes creating lots of movement. The simple forms with small ornate details were simply stunning.

The use of sequins as a kind of lace-work over sheer was jaw-dropping, plus presence of strong shouldered jackets and mutli-coloured sequin dresses.

The abstract prints and tailored moto jackets were magnificent, but the simple details: such as the diagonal cut-aways and minimal strong shoulder designs were stand outs.
