Art and architecture collide for Roksanda Spring/Summer ’20

For Spring/Summer 2020, Roksanda further explores luxurious day dressing through shape, structure and proportion. Presented at London’s Serpentine Gallery, the namesake designer said she wanted to combine “art, architecture and fashion”.

Crafted from cotton and taffeta, dramatic and voluminous dress silhouettes gently frame the contours of the body, flowing from shoulder and hips alike. A feminine colour palette of ivory, blush, crimson red and teal come to life through accordion pleats and delicate draping.

Garments embody the effect of a canvas still in progress, with prints being layered over one another, sprayed and painted. Tailoring is further relaxed by way of elongates shapes and features soft, brush-stroked texture, crafted from melange jersey and wool.

In a press release, the designer said: “The collection draws influence from the work of Mary Weatherford, in particular her body of work incorporating neon rods, which cast industrial light onto fields of colour. The concept of building colour and creating three dimensional form, is developed further through the re-interpretation of art posters that have been layered over time, slowly peeling to reveal what was there before, influencing ideas for print techniques, with double exposed imagery being exploded to a vast scale and subsequently printed and sprayed with colour.”
