...the simplicity of beauty is terrifying...

Nico Didonna

I can only begin to describe how talented this designer is. By imagery alone, with the simplistic photography highlighting the garments on a beautiful model (who definitely holds class in her pose) you can see the detail of pattern cutting required to make such individual creations.
A statement in chosen colours of whites, creams, blues and blacks, the spring/summer 10 collection is a calling to love your body, flaunt your stuff with simple dressing rather than the crowded prints that have been hammering the high streets the past few years.

Menswear is also similar to this, although special care has been tended to the patterns of the shirts and jackets, bold pocketing and lifted seamlines. Even the tees have been left mostly plain, only with a random cutting of hem-line, or raw lining to give that bold edge look to the formality.
There is almost a past, vintage feel to the menswear rather to the greek toga release cast in some of the dresses in womenswear, eventhough i am not one for assymetrical dressing, the gathering of fabric and metallic embellishment cascading on to one arm pleases me far too much to dislike.

Overall...amazing, inspiring, fresh.
