DRESSED FOR CHANGE
Timed perfectly for Australian seasons, the resort collections offer simple updates for a pre-summer wardrobe refresh.
Timed perfectly for Australian seasons, consider resort a pre-summer wardrobe refresh. From colour to silhouette, it’s less a wardrobe about-face as a smooth lane change achieved with some simple updates.
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
If there’s a sign of the heat creeping in, it’s in designers’ taste for juicy shades of orange, from rich yolk-yellow varieties to energetic turmerics and deep persimmon. The feeling is sundrenched, and is best served head-to-toe.
UP AND AWAY
The couture volumes pumping up fashion of late have been given a rework in airy fabrics and shorter lengths, making them perfect for spring statement-making. Billowing silhouettes require a deft hand for cutting, so choose to emphasise shape then don for day and balmier evenings.
SKIN’S IN
Warm-weather leather might sound oxymoronic, but the material’s relevance rolls on into spring if simple rules are followed: keep legs bare, choose minimal, clean lines (not leather of the stud-laden biker variety) and accessorise with dressed-down flats.
SUMMER SAFARI
Veruschka cemented utility pieces’ place in the hotweather lexicon by donning Yves Saint Laurent’s goldstandard safari jacket in 1968. Now modern takes capture that no-nonsense sensibility with a pragmatic hard-wearing appeal transferred to shirts, jumpsuits and separates.
