For Twenty Seven Names Winter 2014 collection entitled I’m Lost, designer’s Rachel Easting & Anjali Stewart looked to Belgian surrealist artist Rene Margritte for inspiration. Margritte’s influence was evident early on in the show, as the first model walked onto the runway wearing a black bowler hat and stylish black suit.
The collection was made up with a range of “classic preppy pieces, with light-hearted graphic all-over prints”. This season the label’s signature print featured Margritte’s famed symbols, a bowler hat, green apple and beating heart. The pattern dominated a majority of the looks, including blouses, a suit and a mini dress with ruffle detailing, which will no doubt be a hit with the brand’s younger consumer’s.
The bowler motif also ventured into the label’s winter accessories, as cute broach pins and school girl socks. Highlights of the show were a stunning red ridding hood esque coat, an amazing red patterned dress and matching jacket, a cream fisherman style jumper and a to die for Camel coat.
The designer’s kept to an overall neutral colour pallet, consisting of mostly navy blues, blacks and browns, but ventured out into colour with their eye popping red metallic pieces and sweet baby pink shirt dresses.
This season Easting & Stewart once again proved why Twenty Seven Names is one of New Zealand’s hottest brands, due to their continuation of classic wearable pieces, with a funky art inspired edge. The ‘I’m Lost’ Winter 2014 is a fun, cute collection filled with all of your winter essentials from day dresses, jumpers, pants and cocktail attire. No doubt, come winter 2014 we will all be seeing you rocking your bowler hats and school girl socks!
