Haute Couture is back at it, creating designs to inspire confidence and amplify the beauty of the African woman. The Silver-lining collection as it implies is targeted at customers who have modest budgets but must glow in appearance regardless. It is a fit of class and glamour that breaks a smile from the lips of a woman even after a long day.
Creativity done and tailored to the T, these are designs and styles that would pop in the lenses of a photographer and get people enquiring who made it. These are stunning dresses that promote the cultural heritage of the Igbo and Yoruba people with the use of Adire and Apoche fabrics.
On the blog section of their website, the Creative Designer of Haute Couture Anthonet stated, “This is a collection that will make women fall in love with their feminine side all over again.” She further described the collection as a symbol of hope as the name connotes and a means of creating an identity for each woman when they appear at meetings or events. A delve into the details of each style revealed a fusion of Western and African designs. The use of locally sourced fabric made the dresses feel homely, and the introduction of trendy Western designs elevated it delightfully.
A talking point about this collection is Haute Couture’s creative approach to unveiling it. They made a fashion catalogue that displayed all the dresses and highlighted beside each the types of fabric, ideas, accessories, and tailoring that brought it to life. The catalogue also stated which colours and sizes were available. The Silver-lining collection also accentuates Haute Couture’s vision to promote African fashion for global consumption and intercultural relationship.
“Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.” – Bill Cunningham. The Silver-lining collection is knitted to reiterate his words.
