best of ellery fall 2011 collection times three

Ellery's current fall collection has a sophisticated sculpted
treatment on her delicately embellished garments. They are
minimal yet with subtly detailed, a progressive collection for
the young designer.

Karla Spetic explores art nouveau motifs and patterns
in her new collection with bold and exciting pastel hues
in sixties influenced collection. The palette and graphic are
elegantly composed and remind me of textiles produced
by Florence Broadhurst.

Kirrily Johnston's spring collection was consistent and
restrained, her minimalist approach continues to produce
new and innovative pieces - here she executes delicate
tonal contrasts draped in silk that are utterly feminine but then
creates pieces with an approach that is very much the opposite
with masculine and bold structures using leather.

Perhaps internationally one of the most talked about collections,
Josh Goot's collection was compelling, a modern and very
directional collection. Goot explores bold splashes of graphic,
saturated colours and structure on a white canvas that provides
a dramatic contrast. There are too many things to love in this
collection from the proportions and volumes of the skirt to the
neoprene tops and well ofcourse those candy striped heels on
the open toe pastel boots.

Gary Bigeni's collection was infused with an array
of colour but what caught my attention were the
burnt orange pieces assembled together with tan
leather and a more neutral palette- they demonstrated
a more sophisticated and refined palette approach.
This collection would have to be one of his best interms
of direction and evolution.

Since Dion Lee's debut his minimalist approach has remained
consistent amongst all his collections, this collection however
has a more sculptural approach rather than his traditional
modernist tailoring that has become a given in all his works.
I would have appreciated the collection in its entirety if there
was a more in depth exploration of the sculpted and three
dimensional approach consistently applied to most of the
pieces.

Dhini's spring summer collection in my opinion has a
new approach in comparison to her previous collections-
instead of the structured and heavily tailored pieces she
takes on a more delicate and soft composition for her
garments in this collection, with bursts of colour that are
refreshingly tasteful.

best of acrobats of god spring summer 2011 collection times three

Nicole Brundage's Acrobats of God spring/summer
2011 collection is a true demonstration of her talent
and invaluable experience in design. Her acrobats
of god range maximises the permutations of elastic
on her uppers- it becomes a playful exploration of
weaving and colour mixing to assemble these
innovative pieces, I only regret not purchasing from
her earlier collections with wood and elastane
