Heritage fashion and beautiful craftsmanship, that’s what
Daks are known for and they did it beautifully once again. Their summer
collection was full off fluid soft silhouettes contrasted with masculine
shapes, a reoccurrence that seems to be happening this season. His garments
were inspired by expressionist painters such as Robert Motherwell, Jasper Johns
and Clyfford still which was presented through the colour palette and bold
silhouettes.
There were beautiful cacoon coats, where the arm was
structure but create clean sleek lines, paired with silk billowing trousers the
model glided down the model with poise and perfection. Perfection is a good
word to describe Daks. Everything is precisely made, tailored flawlessly and
elegantly. The show started with a palette made up of chalky creams and whites
which slowly blended into peaches and burnt oranges. Playsuits were two toned
made up of fabrics which juxtaposed each other from sheer to opaque. They
played with proportion as well as fabrics, using silk gazar and translucent
nylon to produce stunning semi-see through anoraks and parkas. They glided down
the catwalk languidly, taking a new direction for the brand.
Collaborating with Aimee Betts to create hand stitched and
embroidered fabric which was seen on simple clean cut dresses and skirts. We
saw luxury float down that catwalk with tones of black and deep navy, lots of
sleeveless coats were shown with more of the cacoon shape gaping at the back.
We saw classic injections of the trench coat updated and cape with their
heritage print but also the most modern slinky black midi dresses which were
cut in the most delightful slim ling way possible.
