MISHA COLLECTION RESORT 2017

MISHA GOLD RESORT 2017

Designer Michelle Aznavorian of Misha Collection delivered a sumptuously good collection steeped in allurement. Boudoir inspired lace ignited the runway with international star Bella Hadid opening the show in a scalloped lace, ebony, sweetheart bodice with panelled transparent lace midi skirt. The body skimming silhouette was teamed to Mode Collective peep toe elasticised booties complete with vertiginous stiletto heel. Flirty whispers of lace continued to star on a bell sleeve off the shoulder knee length dress finalised with a lace hem and a structured bodice for modesty. A black scarf festooned by crystal splices adorned the neck and added radiance to the ensemble. A sensual game of hide and seek was evident on a transparent raven lace trench dress. Dark romance prevailed with ethereal qualities present throughout the lingerie inspired addition. A rouleau strap, crop bustier and corseted lace panel skirt combination brimmed with amplified seductive charm.

A molten metal, shoestring strap, jacquard, deep decolletage, waisted midi dress featured side split and asymmetrical fringed hem adding an exotic element to the open scoop back, sassy number. Model Amanda Ware took to the runway in an enticing pewter, lace jacquard tasseled play suit. Exposed shoulders elongated sleeves with fringing aplenty oozed of bohemian decadence. A body con mini dress, strapless cocktail dress, long sleeve crop and high waisted pencil skirt were all highlighted by the metallic jacquard lace.

Sublime LBDs were updated in a multitude of arabesques including a billowing, 70s inspired off the shoulder dress complete with extended diaphanous sleeves, a sleek strapless dress featuring punctuated diamond accents on the skirt, the coquettish factor reigning supreme, a scintillating sequin embellished form fitting mini dress perfect for after dark antics and a sculptural spliced torso under the knee dress, clean minimalistic lines and precision tailoring dominating the silhouette. Get ready to shimmy in a flapper inspired fringed strapless mini. Tiered layers of silk fringing are sure to dazzle on the dance floor.

The collection closed with a series of garments in a nude colour palette consisting of blush, champagne and muted apricot. Languid palazzo pants were paired to a flesh boned corset with lace up detail. A knee length dress version evoked Jean Paul Gaultier's signature style. A body caressing pencil skirt was married to a nude body stocking leaving very little to the imagination. Hadid made her final catwalk appearance in a strapless, thigh grazing version teamed to a lightweight trench in the shade of spun sugar.Hadid scored a rumoured appearance fee of 400K for two days work modelling for Misha Collection. With a 4.6m social media following and an equally famous sister to boot the Misha brand is sure to resonate with a whole new platform of fans investing in Misha's pitch perfect style, preened for their next selfie.
