Motivated by the concept of ‘disruptive
beauty’ push the
boundaries of traditional ideals, Bianca Spender’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection conveys a
sense of structured surrealism.

There is an equilibrium of contrasts and
a spirit of liberated precision and fluid expression. Silhouettes are
reinterpreted with the intent of liberating women through optimism, courage,
and bravery.

Enveloping volume pushes the realms of
experimentation. Architectural boning creates a boundless energy, and the body
is liberated from the containment and strictness of formfitting clothing.

Veracious twists are unexpectedly placed,
and contrary shades are playfully married throughout. Tailored trousers are voluminous
and expertly draped, and prints are smashed and spiced.

Individualism and total freedom are
expressed through a saturated palette of rich marigold, ice, vermillion,
lavender, and lemon. Vibrant shades are in equal opposition to utilitarian
tones of toffee, brick red, sand, and cognac.

An array of polka dots, speckled checks,
and brocade cascade in waves around the body and subtle bias drape brings a
modernity to classical column shapes.

Bianca Spender, Founder and Creative
Director says of the collection,

“I had been
thinking about women and what it would look
like to push the bounds of beauty beyond just ‘the
pretty’. I wanted to create a moment where women could really say something
through fashion, as a force for change. We pushed experimentation to create a
collection rich in optimism, courage, freedom, and energy”.

Extending on her
sustainability ethos, Spender’s Spring/Summer collection is crafted
predominantly from deadstock fabrics, welcoming new possibilities for an
otherwise discarded object.
