Bec and Bridge Spring/Summer 2014

Bec and Bridge Spring / Summer 2014

Mercedes-Benz Australian Fashion Week S/S 2014, day one featured design duo, Bec and Bridge. Their latest collection was titled Chromolux.

The pair drew inspiration from the ocean and all its natural beauty. Free flowing,languid silhouettes were teamed with sporty luxe elements.

It was a strong departure from the signature Bec and Bridge aesthetic. The collection managed to break new territory yet may disappoint their legion of fans and target demographic due to the more mature silhouette.

Julia Nobis opened the show in a transparent, mesh, triangular bra, teamed with silk colour block ink and electric blue vest. A fluid, celestial pant in black finished the look.

Clean, minimalistic lines were evident on a structured, black bustier married with crisp white slouch pant, effortless sophistication.

Lingerie inspired pieces graced the runway. Sensual slips in rich shades including claret would look perfectly at home in the boudoir or a Calvin Klein runway.

Midi lengths proved popular this season. Sporty luxe crept in on a pink blush, racer front, silk, liquid midi dress, skimming the body nonchalantly.

The starring garment of the collection was a moto inspired,boxy, electric eel, leather vest which had the option of being worn as a dress. Peak shoulders and bulky buckle hardware toughened up the look. This was paired with ink athletic crop top, layered mesh long sleeve tank and tailored trouser.

Geometric cut-outs found their way onto ice blue, racer front, midi dress with cheeky peek-a-boo side torso cut-outs.

Koi fish inspired garments included pearlescent, plunge v-neck cami complete with built in back bra fastening, iridescent sequin trousers and a sequin blouse with overblown sleeve detail.
