LFW AW13 - Marios Schwab


Lasts night show was truly enchanting. As the lights went out, everyone was anticipating what creations were
 about to glide down the runway. The runway slowly lit up, section by section and soon a model appeared in a 
cape and dress. Poised with attitude, the dresses still had softness in tone, covered in embellishment, a colour 
palette of wines and forest greens captured the audience with their fluid movement and perfectly formed silhouettes. 
Dresses were cut at the empire line with contrast panelled PVC blocks and sleeves gave the appearance of a caped
 outline. Hints of dark sea blue with textured iridescent fabrics were a highlight. There was a real sense of opulence 
and luxury to each look that went down. Materials such as velvet and silk chiffons, with subtle hints of glittering 
sequins in hues of burgundy and amethyst exuded an elegant innocence. Inspired by “calligrams” the term in which 
words create an image, the clothes form a story that was felt by the audience. The gowns seen in the final part of the 
collection were made of plush velvet and jewel tones, the use of fabric created an updated image of a 15th century 
fashion, a show worth waiting for each look made you want to be part of a captivating fairy tale..
