VOGUE 180°
Here Georgia Currie sits at the end of the world, in a kind of post-apocalyptic dystopia with only a fan, TV and a very nice pair of electric-purple shoes radiating hope.
Georgia Alice: a young designer on the rise.
Georgia Alice Currie is poised to survive. Well, obviously: she hails from New Zealand (born in Christchurch, currently living in Auckland), and Kiwis are made of stern stuff. Strong. She has a clean, contemporary perspective; a light easiness imbues her long cuffed shirts, her wideleg pants and ruched unique sensibility, which all hints at something borrowed, a little bit oversized, kind of comfortable, very cool. Until the age of 14, Currie was destined to become a ballerina, and perhaps this is what helps inform her almost tomboyish handwriting with its mellifluous opposing androgyny. Her clothes are slaying it on Net-A-Porter.com: yes, she is a young designer on the rise. Her Georgia Alice resort ’18 collection includes a handdrawn print of pink and white flowers, all new growth, and a softly tailored dove-grey suit with slouchy pants, worn low on the waist and, of course, worn extra long, spilling down over a pair of vibrant satin heels. A flame-red bias-cut slip dress is a simple concession to some kind of evening drama. A decadence. It is the end of the world as we know it, perhaps, but life will go on.
