Roksanda S/S 2016
Mood board: Blue, yellow and black were the most outspoken colours in this collection that otherwise included rather more muted hues than we’re used to of Roksanda. Her talent for construction came through in the tailored pieces and dramatic bomb sleeves, her softer side showed in the layers and ruched details.
Scene setting: Curved partitions, cubes and cylinders, all in beige, made up the Gary Card designed set at the Seymour Leisure Centre.
Team work: No less than three collaborations marked this summer show: Tabitha Simmons created colour-block boots with curved cut-outs and laces, Smythson provided the abstract art inspired invitations and taking over Roksanda’s Instagram with her witty and goofy captions was Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller blogger.
