ALICE McCALL SPRING 2015

 ALICE McCALL SPRING 2015

Alice McCall delivered a whimsical Spring 2015 collection replete with flirtatious, free spirited connotations. Playful silhouettes embodying seventies bohemian charm played a starring role throughout the design equilibrium. Model besties Avril Alexander and Kendal Schuler fronted the campaign, posing together in a series of characterful garments brimming with girlish charisma.

Standouts included duck egg blue, midrise corduroy lace up flares which also featured in the shade of ebony. The flares were teamed to a dainty cut-out floral bralet or sleek black for those who prefer a minimalistic approach.

Scalloped embroidery frequented romantic, peasant folklore concoctions alongside cropped, cutaway, halter key hole blouses and high waisted playsuits including the exceptionally exquisite 'Better Be Good To Me' playsuit in the hue of angelic seashell.

Textured, saccharine lavender pink knits appeared on calf length pencil skirt, spliced crop top, three quarter sleeve keyhole body con mini dress and a relaxed shoestring strap sweetheart jumpsuit featuring wide leg arabesque complete with thigh high split.

Delicate floral applique lit up transparent stomach grazing blouses. Oversized sleeves lent fragility and innocence to the equation. A matching trumpet hem midi skirt concluded the modernised twinset. For those wishing to bare their pins team to the sculptural, origami inspired 'Miss You' shorts. 

Graphite and white intarsia knits featured undulating fauna in figure hugging contours, think cut-out bras, pencil skirts, jumpers, rompers and thigh skimming mini dresses.

Seventies playfulness reigned supreme on a striped salt n pepper dress. Fringing descended from under the bust and sleeve. The 'Higher Than The Sun' jumper version was paired to narrow, 7/8 lattice sheer trousers for those wishing to channel a tailored gypsy vibe, with a dose of masculinity thrown into the mix.

Saturated periwinkle blue, dominated a peacock motif, jersey, tie up, bustier playsuit. The striking pattern called for a sojourn to Florence. Languid Palazzo pants and relaxed shirt also featured the bold, crisp pattern.

Laura Ashley inspired paisleys made their way onto poetic bishop sleeve liberty print blouses, maxis and loose fitted shorts in relaxed proportions. Shades of sky, pistachio, blackcurrant and lapis punctuated the delicate pieces.

Linear cut cotton highlighted luscious, voluminous blouses, jumpsuits and cut-out shifts in dainty shades of wisteria and spring green.

Alice McCall debuted her swimwear line this season. Expect to see form fitting one pieces in black and white, seductive scoop backs and stretch lace inserts. For those who wish to opt for a bikini look no further than the 'Out Of Sight' twinset in a athletic design which includes racer front, adjustable straps teamed to stretch side Brazilian bottoms offering medium coverage.

'And She Was There, There She Goes' is an effervescent collection bursting with pulchritude, dropping in stores this August and September.
