It was a collection the Greek goddesses would have dreamt of and the gladiators fought over.
Lascelles Symons' presentation titled Aurum for Spring/Summer 2007 was a symphony of colour and drape in truly feminine styles; that will turn any woman into a goddess.
Terming his collection as a Cocktail prêt line, Lascelles picked the most dramatic colours to start his fashion story. Ruby, jade, coral and turquoise along with citrine and pearl was for fabrics that draped and moulded the female form perfectly in minis, dresses, tunics and tops.
Detailing for the very exciting minis started with intricate Fleur De Lie drapes, pin tucks, reversed distressed pleats that textured the fabrics and gave the garments that exciting fashion edge.
Some of the stunning creations were the flowing cowl sleeve mini with front and back attachment, the nude beige empire line bubble hem halter midi, the shaded peach pin tuck low waist dress, a seductive sarong dress in fuchsia and finally a black halter gown with gold girdles on the bodice.
Lascelles added colourful cummerbunds topped with contrasting ribbons for added interest. The colour combinations were at times unconventional - mustard with turquoise and black.
Necklines were restricted to halter, empire line or delicate cowl necks which fitted perfectly into the theme of the collection.
Lascelles Symons scored on all fronts with his collection that will surely create a stir not onlyamongst mortals but maybe even the gods.
