Abraham & Thakore WIFW AW 2014

Design duet, Abraham & Thakore’s collection was sponsored by Twinings, my favourite tea brand and a part of every morning of my life.

The collection was aimed at sleek uniform dressing for the city, touching on safari. Who is the hunter or the hunted? Up to you! I loved the wild silks left in their natural golden shade and I particularly loved the leopard print twosie with the trench coat, it is so sophisticated yet wild.

The designers commissioned their own weaves which will give them a chance not to be copied in a hurry.  Although this wasn’t referenced in the show notes, some of the looks reminded me of old Hollywood and Rita Hayworth or Marlene Dietrich with their relaxed nonchalant style.  Who wouldn’t want to look like them?
