On the catwalk, the Julien MacDonald spring summer 2017 collection features flaxen animal prints and structured tailoring, drawing inspiration from the prolific Maasai tribes and solitary landscapes of the African plains.
The colour palette is soft and feminine, inspired by Albino animals discovered on faraway travels. Snakeskin is reimagined on dusty pinks through the use of three dimensional Swarovski embroidery to create an Afro-Chic aesthetic.
Drawing inspiration from his extensive archive, Julien Macdonald hero knitwear dresses are reimagined in new tones of luxurious gold and silver using Haute Couture techniques, teamed with ombre metallic fringing creating an animalistic second skin for this season’s muse.
The mens collections draws inspiration from utility-wear seen through modern interpretations of cargo trousers and jumpsuits in jet black colourways married with silver hardware, teamed with classic Julien Macdonald cobweb inspired knitwear.
