A collection is supposed to tell the story of a designer’s creative vision. Each look is a new plot twist, engineered to draw in the audience’s suspense. In the tale of Milly, Michelle Smith’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection, it is an adventure that leaves the audience begging for more! Milly tells the story of a vibrant young woman taking a walk on the wild side of fashion. Inspired by high-tech materials and innovative fabrics, Smith’s collection is intricate construction for the future. Bright bold colors such as heliotrope, clover, and pink provide dramatic eye candy to a base palette of black and white. Leather, silk, wool, and tweed create a textural juxtaposition of classic femininity and modern avant-garde. Milly’s leading lady makes an entrance wherever she goes, attracting instant visual fixation.
