About GOLD
AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
Michael H’s award winning brand continues to surpass previous collections with its ornate sense of style and design. With a strong collection of occasion wear pieces to more trend-driven day pieces there truly is a touch of Gold to the new season.
This season epitomises luxury prints and patterns with ornate detailing for extra opulence and stand out appeal. Their ‘Touch of Bijoux’ collection highlights bright winter colours such as turquoise blue gem and ivory. The shift dress has been re-invented with dramatic design details such as jacquard bust lines and distressed-edge tiered skirts, with a range of either bolero style jackets or shift coats with oversized floral printed lapels to complete the look. Fabrics are as luxurious as the designs themselves - choose from taffeta, silk satin, satin sheen and jacquard.
In their wedding story, texture plays a big part and sumptuous colours come out to play, with strong accents of light grey and cream. Choose from their extremely ornate snow print coat with pleated shawl collar and oversized black buttons complemented by its matching shift dress with black jewel neckline. Alternatively, choose their short light bolero with pleated grosgrain beaded neckline. Continuing with its strong theme of luxurious textures, their black coat with circular cut out work on the collar and border creates a young and accessible look that can be teamed with a selection of their print shift dresses for a versatile on-trend look.
One of their biggest occasion wear stories this season is Pink which has something for all ages - from satin sheen in old rose to the berry pink range which features their bandage dress with one sided mesh detail and bold black floral print on pink. Wear with a matching cropped sleeve jacket for winter defying colour and head turning style.
Other luxurious details in the new collection are scalloped tiers on dresses, cut out work and beading, fur shrugs and wraps, faux fur jackets and feather boas for added glamour and winter elegance.
Daywear for GOLD pushes itself further and stronger into the fashion market as we see soft jersey dressing with quirky shapes such as balloon and tulip, while patchwork, contrast stitching and placement prints all take centre stage this season. It is without a doubt the season to be seen and revered for your unique sense of style. Bold colours such as limes and purple sit together in tunic styles and waterfall cardigans. Drawstring hemlines show quirkier styling, while chunky oversized cardigans replace the coat. The key to casual dressing for GOLD this season is easy dressing with bold and innovative prints and shapes to ensure you make your own proud fashion statement.
