WATSON X WATSON SUMMER 15/16

WATSON X WATSON

WATSON X WATSON sisters, Somer and Liberty Watson delivered a S/S 15/16 collection replete with seventies effervescence. Disco connotations flourished throughout resulting in sassy sophistication for the alluring perennial party girl. The collection was titled Day Walker with deconstructed glam proving to be the order of the day.

Model Megan Blake Irwin took to the runway in a reconfigured kimono jacket which featured sloping cocoon shoulders with sleeves pushed up nonchalantly to reveal pinstripe lining which also starred on the collar of the decolletage. A scalloped denim, paisley and quilted tie dye patchwork mini was finalised with lace up detailing which sat seductively on the upper thigh. Pinstripes continued to flourish on a sleek, slimline shirt which was paired to paper bag waist, white shorts and cropped architectural bodice which was worn over the shirt. A charming interplay of layering suffused with the elixir of youth.

An ebony, 3/4 sleeve, beaded fauna mini dress was a tantalising addition. A simplistic shoestring bralet was married to  the dress for modesty. Clavicle grazing crystal drop earrings featured in circular discs and crystal strips by Australian jewellery designer Fiel Sol. Waxy cutout patent clogs concluded the look oozing of casual cool.

Demure proportions punctuated a crisp white midi skirt which was twinned to a tie dye quilted judo inspired jacket. The voluminous jacket was highlighted by dainty delicate florals which added a dose of sweetness.

Urban utilitarian chic dominated on a black roll sleeve tee which was accented by waxed leather inserts creating a heavenly textural mash up. Relaxed leather culottes fell high on the waist with industrial centre zip toughening up the arabesque.

 Strut your stuff to the discotheque in the tomato red, slinky asymmetrical camisole complete with high-low hem which was tucked into tailored shorts with the tail of the cami billowing with every stride Jayne Baily took on the foil covered runway. The generous draping added the glam factor. Scintillating crystal strip cuffs adorned the wrists, the ultimate bling worthy accessory. 

Double denim reigned supreme on a medium indigo wash staple denim shirt, a must have in every woman's wardrobe. The shirt was teamed to  paper bag waisted Capri pants in laid back proportions. A quilted obi sash attenuated the waist creating a feminine silhouette. Nude wooden clogs were the footwear of choice.

Other standouts comprised of an Oxford shirt dress which was paired to a navy sateen trench and a boatneck embellished sheer blouse coupled to contemporary tuxedo 7/8 trousers.

WATSON X WATSON'S Day Walker collection is available to purchase at their flagship boutique located at 29 William Street, Paddington.
