Urban. Minimalistic. Elegant. Confident. Is it possible to link just one of these terms to such a harmoniously in-tune label? NUBU has set the pace with the unveiling of their Resort collection this season, tying in every one of them and more. Their urban yet elegant street style mixed with their minimalistic cuts exude high levels of confidence and chic. Based in Budapest, Hungary the brand offers ready-to-wear pieces, a range of grand accessories and leather handbags, catering to women of all walks of life.
Inspired by the constructivist artist Kazimir Malevich, the collection touches on both geometric abstract art and the avant-garde and have produced a range of illusion dresses, tops and skirts with corroded iron and sculptural prints on them. Through the brands use of unusual fabrics and materials, they’ve opened the viewers eyes to a different way of viewing garments through their play on light and colour. From Silk, Vinyl and Neoprene to their use of metallic threads and woven raffia, the collection is texturally stimulating and appealing to the eye, with the help of an eclectic colour palette; contrasting harsh shades of black, white and beige with forest green, orange and bronze accents. It’s no wonder the team have opted for a simple setting for the editorial shoot in the form of a plain white background and a reflective, wet ground; just enough to showcase each piece in its best form. For the lovers of the famous Art/Fashion collaboration, every piece ticks every box.
