red carpet: Academy Awards 2013

It's no secret that my favourite look at the Oscars this year was Amanda Seyfried, breathtaking in the spectacular Alexander McQueen gown which was turning heads on the red carpet. She, however, wasn't alone.

AW13 'The Imaginarium of Kitty LeRoy'

Alice McCall's character for AW13 is an entrancing vegabond, a girl of mystery & all things exotic. A confluence of two unexpected world's: Alice's illumination for The Imaginarium came from a melding of 1980's & glamorous world casinos with the exotic allure of Orientalism of the 1940's.


Decidedly, Oriental air is visible through bold peacock embroidery, kimono jackets & metallic brocade detail on Origami-like folded garments. Silhouettes are indulgent & bohemian- a kimono jacket hangs leisurely, as folk dresses swing naively, & embellishment is the key to the collection's magnetism. Vast & accomplished; flocking, quilting, embroidery, beading, cutwork & wadding make each piece as special as the next.

The Imaginarium is a beguiling & striking amalgamation of two worlds, where each piece is in a way like a talismanic keepsake- timeless, special & exquisite..
