Basharatyan V SS14 collection
"Frida" was showcased at the Freemasons Hall; it was a colourful
display of yellows, reds and pearly whites, which was a build-up on AW13's colourful
palette. Hugely inspired by Mexican surrealist painter, Frida Kahlo the
collection reflects strong traits of her paintings and philosophies.
Unique prints that show the brands growth
in confidence and experience was a delight, with bursts of neon green, coral
reds and beautiful monochromatic prints.
Veronica Basharatyabn was inspired by the
pain and passion in Kahlo's work, her models reflected the statement eyebrows
of Kahlo's trademark look. The silhouettes were sultry feminine and yet strong,
channelling the fearless Frida, the uncompromising depiction of the female
experience and form.
The first impression of the collection is
layers of delectable silk chiffons in a combination of both vivid and pastel colours,
intriguing prints with pops of neon bright and zesty lemon/lime
embellishments.
