Michael Lo Sordo S/S 14/15

Michael Lo Sordo's S/S 14/15 collection was an irrefutably modern display. Androgynous, lackadaisical, liberated silhouettes were very much in attendance. Bourgeois chic flourished throughout the collection offering seductive charm.

Alexandra Agoston wafted down the runway in a double breasted, monochromatic, pinstripe shirt complete with dolman sleeve detail. The tailored shirt was teamed to a generously cut, maxi skirt which was cleverly draped to reveal an asymmetrical centre split.

Myf Shepherd modelled a delicate, heavenly white, slip dress, perfect for the boudoir. The silhouette was updated with a soft, billowy trench worn attenuating the waist adding a dose of delicacy to the mix.

A masculine tuxedo starred in pearl white, sleeves worn pushed up ever so nonchalantly with satin lapel oozing with glamour. A translucent, neckerchief adorned the neck and was married to a layered, oversized cami with double key hole feature and finalised with an understated, free flowing trouser lending a languid silhouette. Duck egg blue headlined  a 3 piece suit comprising of bralet, tailored blazer and high waisted trousers replete with a fluid aesthetic. 

Subtle athletic references reigned supreme on a relaxed, slimline, single breasted blazer in fine pinstripe fabric teamed to silk neckerchief and minimalistic v-neck bralet. Plenty of flesh on display, toned abs are mandatory. Insouciant, hip hugging trousers brimmed with devil-may-care attitude.

A mouthwatering, lemon sorbet hued trench was a polished addition lending a softer edge to the more masculine dominated pieces featured in the collection. A matching blouse was teamed underneath. Sculptural, distinguished lines were present on a snakeskin, textural, cocoon blouse in 3D knitting technology. Bouffant sleeves created volume. A matching, knee length, pencil skirt concluded the look. A seductive, mottled, sea snakeskin, patent, triangle bralet oozed of sensuality. A wraparound, high waisted, knee length skirt offered provocation. A romantic mauve rose, maxi dress featured diaphanous, layered, handkerchief hem. Lavender foil, triangle bust and spaghetti strap detail lent a sci-fi edge to the garment. The waist was drawn in by material gathered to create the illusion of a sweater tied around the torso.

Ballet connotations reigned supreme on a peony pink dress consisting of asymmetrical neckline, refined peak shoulder and free flowing, thigh high split. A dusty rose trench coat adorned Stephanie Carta's right shoulder as though the trench had been casually slung over the shoulder. An enigmatic silhouette brimming with bewitchment.

A groundbreaking collection for the illustrious Lo Sordo who is a design stalwart beyond his 30 years.
