Alexandre Herchcovitch blew my mind. I read that he found beautiful fifties-era fabrics, patterns & prints in an old fabric store in Brazil that was closing down, and those fabrics were his inspiration for this collection. Some he used, some were much too fragile so he replicated their intricacies, but to be honest, can you really tell the difference? The silks are a delicious bouquet of powder blues, sherbert lemons, caramels and soft neutrals all printed with a variety of flowers. Truly exquisite, it's amazing how something so simple can inspire. I just feel that some of the silhouettes & cuts are a little convoluted and could have been simplified, modernised even. The atypical 50's A-line skirts & boat necklines are a little expected, but the baseball caps are a nice touch, I definitely need one.
