Brilliant Braganza!

During last Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb earlier this year I had a chance to spend some time with Jean-Pierre. this Canadian designer stroked me as a true creative genius. He really does know what women want to wear and is quite warm, simple and a modest person. Due to some personal engagements I can't be in London right now, but the second I saw the first look shown above I smiled and said "office pajamas" how genius! He did it again!

"What a woman would wear to seduce Ben Nicholson at a party at the Gatsby Estate" – is the way Braganza has described his SS 2012. Collection. 

He kept his sci-fi theme inspiration creating smart collection which many different generations could wear on many different occasions. Plenty of the pieces I would definitely describe as timeless and classic with Braganza twist to them.

He played with traditionally male tailoring creating dresses made out of reconstructed -shouldered collarless suit jackets, jackets alone worn on figure hugging dresses made in soft grays, beiges and dramatic monochrome palettes with emphasized shoulder padding. This somewhat classic color pallet of art deco graphic prints was broken up with splashes of bright coral pink-tangerine colored digital print dresses.

I feel like this was Braganza at its best! Overall, very multi-wearable, smartly tailored power pieces each fashionista would love to have in her closet! This collection takes you from day in the office to lovely business or romantic dinner following a divine gala…and the accessories! Ahhhh these divine sci-fi powerful shoes! But this is no suprise knowing about his now traditional cooperation with Nicholas Kirkwood.You can see bellow some of Kirkwood shoes from previous Jean-Pierre Braganza collections. 

Brangaztic indeed!
