Bec and Bridge S/S 14/15

Bec and Bridge S/S 14/15

Bec and Bridge's S/S 14/15 MBFW collection was a culmination of liberated garments, rich in seductive charm. Perfect for the quintessential effervescent party girl. Figure hugging silhouettes flourished throughout the collection. Relaxed, androgynous garments with a hint of feminine charm were also thrown into the mix for the modern day tomboy.

Look 1 comprised of a patchwork indigo and chambray oversized jacket teamed to a racer front, two toned, knitted tank. Asymmetrical fringing detail graced the mid torso area. A raw hemmed, handkerchief tweed skirt fell to the knee. Sheer, white, mesh midi boots complete with black panelling and peep toe detail concluded the look. Fringing continued to dominate on a drop waist, knitted shift dress in relaxed proportions. Oceanic shades of blue lent a calming aesthetic.

A chambray, deep plunge, bustier dress came complete with high waisted, undulating tweed skirt which caressed every curve. A succession of stripes played a starring role yet again amongst designers at the MBFWA collections and this time were evident in the form of a halter plunge, white and black top paired to cropped, languid, flared palazzo trousers in horizontal navy and white stripe. Alexandra Agoston modelled a cut-away body con mini dress with wraparound waist adornment which fell mid calf. A stylish arabesque, punctuated with attitude.

A midnight and ebony blanket wrap jacket with black leather tie belt oozed of energised cool. A funnel neck, flat front placket, denim shirt dress completed the look. Bec and Bridge's signature second skin dresses featured in textural horizontal stripe with key hole detail adding allure. Hook and eye sutures in a rippling form dissected a navy jacket creating a silhouette bursting with magnetism and sculptural lines. An iridescent, hip hugging, ra ra skirt added an injection of youth to the equation. A Grecian Goddess, bandage wrap, halter top featured mesh sleeves and decolletage. This torso baring top was paired to a scintillating, high waisted, transparent skirt.

A standout, minimalistic, off the shoulder, ebony woven dress fell to the knee with a titillating thigh high split for an added dose of glamour. A strapless bodysuit was worn underneath for modesty. Clever drapery was evident on a strapless, velvet, basket weave top with crossover halter bust detail. A ruched, asymmetrical, PVC, ivory mini skirt with fish tail flounce concluded the look. Eighties references reigned supreme. A powder puff blue mesh dress was deconstructed glamour at its best. Spliced torso and undulating, strategically placed hook and eye detail oozed of sex appeal, a one shouldered mesh sleeve modernised the dress to a whole new level.

A terracotta red leather top in a waxy finish was a chic accession. This was married to a white asymmetrical flounce mini with fine pinstripe detail. A free form cape coat in eggshell with leather lapel adorned the model's shoulders. Pyjama inspired shirting made its way onto the runway in the form of a relaxed, button down, striped shirt with black placket and press stud closure. Matching culottes in micro proportions concluded the look.

A convivial display sure to delight Bec and Bridge devotees aplenty.
