Yesterday I told you about my fashion perplexities, today I still praise Ellery‘s new collection that was presented in Paris.

“We want to unravel, deconstruct and reconstruct pieces from another era, in new ways making them relevant today” said creative director, Kym Ellery. “It is a collection that explores the contrast between old and new, filled with pieces that are both fluid and structured in equal measure.”

Colour palette: deep blacks, flesh tones, warm rusts, soft grey and velvety blues. Accent colours of yellow and candy pink lighten the mood whilst metallic tones flicker throughout.

Fabrications: liquid lamé to double silk georgette, velvet corduroy, wool suiting, snow fox fur and shimmering lurex velvet.

The brand’s trademark flares were presented in different proportions, some with raw then embroidered edges.

End goal remains the same: to empower the wearer through design and to create clothes for women of excellence.
