'Dark Tales' A/W 2009-10

- by Maria Lau

Description

Maria Lau's second collection entitled 'Dark Tales' contains references to traditional Japanese armour and braiding; pieces are more focused on form and structure than the previous collection giving it a harder edge and more glamorous feel. The innovative use of tights and shock-cord elastic create the black silhouettes that are punctuated by shimmering surfaces, whilst asymmetrical patterns retain an eclectic and modern feel.
