Barbara Casasola Spring Summer 2017

It is unfortunate that summer is coming to a close, as Barabara Casasola’s Spring Summer 2017 collection would be a welcome installation to my wardrobe.

Sophisticated yet breezy, the collection was befitting for a placid summer’s day. The entirety of the collection was based on a neutral colour palette. Pristine whites, ivory, black and khaki were the surface of the show. The only exception of colour came from a rust red dress.

Dresses were subtly sexy, drooping necklines showed collarbones, while shoulder baring gowns discreetly revealed décolletage. The chest revealing vest tops were the epitome of basic day wear. The black mid length shirtdress and rippling mauve dress were on my list of favourites.

Hem’s made a focal point. Shredded, uneven or folded they contributed to the easy aura of the looks. Accessories were minimal: basic gold bands encased the upper forearms and the occasional wrist.  

The models wore gloves on their feet; the luxurious leather kind that mold to the foot. They were in black, white and nude, upon initial viewing/inspection the model was barefoot.

It is a good thing that her autumn/winter collection was just as enticing, perfect to fill the seasonal gap.
