Rachel Freire SS10 showing at On/Off

Human Hair Show-piece

I posted on Rachel’s AW aurora shoot last week and now that it’s made it’s public debut, I’m following-up with her SS10 collection which she showed at On/Off last week. I wrote her a little press release which sums up the collection. Since I wrote it I don’t feel so bad dropping it into my blog post – not something I would ususally do.

Inspired by strong contemporary role models, Rachel’s collection was designed to appeal to high fashion super-females. Despite strong military and sci-fi elements the collection is, designed to be wearable, durable, feminine and flattering.

Rachel’s applies her in-depth knowledge of traditional corsetry and tailoring to each garment. Her meticulous attention to form and structure create the impression of anatomical perfection regardless of the shape underneath.

Strong armoured lines executed in silk and jersey are feminised through a gentle colour palette of muted grey and nude tones. Precision-cut leather and reflective fringing create movement softening the pristine linearity of construction. The references to science fiction are off-set by playful kiss-lips animal prints and hand-cut jersey camouflage.
