:: Honey & Beau

By: Carmine Pascuzzi

Honey & Beau reveals this season’s hot new look! ‘St. Barts Comes to Town”, a collection inspired by a summer vacation at St Barts, where the vibrancy of the Caribbean island, freedom, glamour and sensuality collide. The collection reflects a soft mix of relaxed fashion with a twist of city life; “the metropolis meets a summer paradise”. A balanced colour palette of neutral lavender tones against vibrancy and texture has created a youthful flirty, yet feminine collection that is energetic, vivid, exciting and representative of the chic fashion philosophy of this fashion forward Sydney label.

Inspired by city culture, the first story in the collection builds on neutral bases with the colour pallet is influenced strongly by lavender with highlights of soft pinks, muted mushroom and injections of rainbow florals. Opening with the edgy Jamie designs, fabrics are fused with studded detail and delicate embroidery in mix & match separates. The story then moves into equally enticing day wear featuring structured tailoring, high waist lines and floral details representing the utility versus girlie nature of this collection.

From high rise chic to caribbean beauty, the next story from Honey & Beau balances the transition from spring to summer with perfect ease. Intense yellow and revitalizing daiquiri green mixed with crisp whites reflects the cheerfulness of the season. The exclusive paisley print and mauve undertones of flowery Spring Crocus make it among the prettiest, most wearable colour ways. Heavy roping used in conjunction with delicate carved wooden buttons against lightweight fabrics and airy silk georgettes combine beautifully to represent a summer paradise.

The final story in the ‘St. Barts Comes To Town’ collection rolls out the ‘Red Carpet’ for evening glamour with Victoria, Regina, Jackie, Giselle, Camilla, Allegra and Lindsay designs. For this resolutely optimistic season, colour takes centre stage and joins forces with stunning silks to symbolise the height of summer. Bold contrasting colours and exclusive prints create unique, distinctive feminine looks.

Summer 08 is all about glamour, contrast and innovative design, with a focus on making a statement for the Honey & Beau girl.
