Valentine’s Day hosted Spijkers en Spijkers’ AW08/09 show. A show inspired by Scarlett O’Hara a muse and heroine both strong-willed and dynamic.
The collection was romantic and integrated feminine shapes and textures using bold colours such as gold, red, aubergine and green amongst staples black and cream.
Strong shapes took centre stage with garments such as panelled bell-shaped coats, short wide jackets in silk, and dresses that came in at the waist echoing a strong 1940s silhouette; and classic tailoring elements were introduced in their high waisted trousers, pencil skirts and blouses made of gauze and silk. Their dresses were playful in their detailing; ruffled sleeves, removable collars and embellished trimmings.

The overall feel was one of lightness, strength and vast amounts of style.
