Australia is fast becoming one of the major fashion industries to watch. The latest collection from Strateas Carlucci is just some of the proof of the strong design work and commercial appeal that is coming from the sunshine state. The autumn/ winter 2015 collection ‘Transplant’ is based upon a modern and urban motif. Nature is a source of inspiration– deep greens and browns are shown against cloudy skies and scenic landscapes. The use of fabrics is unique– there are sweatshirts made of velvet, silk shirts and rich leather jackets that are perfect with simple white shirts, smart black suits and plain navy and olive coats. It is these coats that are far and away the standout pieces in this collection– structural, cut in interesting shapes and highly desirable.
