Spring Summer 12 Collection
We love writing about young designer, specially when they come from countries that not have a long history of fashion.
This is the case of Barbara Casasola, from Brazil, she studied fashion design at Central Saint Martins in London and the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, began her career as First Assistant Designer at Cavalli, moved to Paris in January 2010 to work with Gabriele Greiss, and has since worked on assignments for Lanvin [including the S/S 2011 catwalk show] and See by Chloe.
Her second collection Spring Summer 2012 is characterised by long monochromatic dresses and block-colour pleated gowns, that emphasize the simplicity. What we like is the colour choices particularly, where signature hand-dyed foundation-nudes have been blended with washed accents consisting of monk-yellow, terracotta and inky black.
Fabric-wise, crepes, pleated georgette and pure silks provide the raw material for Barbara's intelligent contemporary drapery which posesses a luxurious edge in the cut - many of the dresses consist of single swathes of fabric and side-seams have been entirely dispensed with.
