As the long-awaited sun breaks through the thunderous rain storms, blizzards and frostbite winds that we now call ‘Spring,’ one fashion label have given us the opportunity to remove ourselves from the hustle and bustle of city life and instead indulge in an exciting world rich in print, exotic patterns and culturally infused textures. We welcome ‘Maison Scotch SS13’ by Scotch & Soda – an Amsterdam based fashion label that re-established themselves back in 2001. Boasting five collections so far, they’re most recent spring summer collection oozes with nothing but bohemian vibrancy and a keen interest in harmoniously combining severalma cultures to create one mind blowing image.
Imagine an outfit laden with exciting, ethnic prints and yarn fringing with tassels that hang effortlessly, yet beautifully complimenting the male and female figures. Hot, neon stripes acting as a contrast against the beautiful, ethnic inspired maroons, burnt oranges and desert sands while mingling amongst tribal prints. Is that image in your head?
