From the spirited, stompy muse swathed in black (or suited and not-quite-muted in corporate tones) to the vibrant-hued star who’s dressing for the limelight: Leem’s Autumn Winter 2019 inspiration is of two halves. But these two opposing influences share a common denominator – they celebrate the woman of today. This is the trend that defines the season and beyond.
On the minimalist theme, seriously sophisticated tailoring is taking a starring role – consider it a neat palate cleanser after many seasons of sports luxe. Then there’s the return of supple leather, a hero full-length dress, in particular, directing the new mood in quiet luxury. As for the opposing side? Vibrant colour, which can be worn head-to-toe. And floor-length dresses – oversized and couture-like in their construction and unapologetically sophisticated.
The collections’ tailored aesthetic is perfectly pronounced by a powerful autumnal palette of marl grey, hunter green, plum and jet black juxtaposed by berry, burnt gold, citrus orange, flashes of yellow and a blank canvas of frosty white.
