| Stella Jean Ready To Wear Fall Winter 2015 Milan |
Stella Jean - The 35-year-old designer indeed has a knack for evolving her prints and making every theme stand out from the last.
"The trick is to change the theme every time and of course the silhouettes," she told (NOWFASHION backstage). "We started out with Africa and in this collection, there aren't any African references. There is an evolution in terms of genre and volumes and there is much more of a masculine aspect that I think really highlights the underlying sense of femininity," she added.
A Himalayan-barbershop-meets-Savile-Row-tailoring motif set the tone for the array this fall winter season. Boyish glen check wool and neoprene coats were accented with Maharajah-inspired embroidery and electric tassels. Buoyant, embroidered silk and wool skirts that expanded like the flying buttresses typical in Gothic architecture infused the collection with a playful, nonchalant edge.
"The themes were played out in a kitsch way in order to render the collection credible and to balance out the classic," Jean added.
