Basso & Brooke Yet Another London Stunner

Basso&brooke_13

Master printmakers Basso & Brooke took their inspiration from Japan and kept their design simple, letting their stunning collage prints take center stage, save for a bit of pleating and folding effects. The visually complex looks were finished exquisitely thanks to the carved shoes from Raouda Assaf and headpieces by famed milliner Stephen Jones. Isn't this collection beyond gorgeous? Absolutely a new favourite and one I will never, ever get to wear.

Continuing on with colours that make you feel good, this time done in minimalist, colourblock style, is Richard Nicoll. His fresh palette of tangerine, cyclamen, nude, and aqua remind me of the Art Deco hotels of Ocean Drive in South Beach. If only the people there dressed this way rather than seeing fishnets over a g-string as a good 'pants' option for serving tables in the daytime (yes, I saw a waitress wearing this as she was serving the lunch crowd).

To class things up again, Basso & Brooke (and above):
