Today I was thrilled to attend Australian Designer Collette Dinnigan's runway show for Paris Fashion Week.
Last season, Collette Dinnigan’s lady was a
seductress, dressed to kill in leather and lace. Opening to a smashing
soundtrack of Arctic
Monkeys Do I wanna
Know?, her Spring/Summer 14 lady was more cheeky ingénue than
vamp. The lace was still there, but this time in the form of crisp, white
separates. My favourites? The white shorts teemed with a sheer lace or flower
embellished red tee. Colour featured heavily this season too, with pops of
cobalt, turquoise and red cut into ladylike knee lengths dresses. While the
lengths were demure, the cutaways, low backs and peekaboo lace bras hinted the
Dinnigan lady hasn’t lost her sex appeal. For a designer renowned for her
bridal wear, the floor length gowns were no surprise. Caped, beaded, printed and
layered, there was a design for any occasion.
My standout piece was the final dress, a dreamy
Grecian floor length gown in black and white print. Just the right amount of
edge and femininity to take you from afternoon wedding to harbor side
cocktails.
