MBFWA: Alice McCall

Alice McCall's collection stuck to their usuall esthetic of pretty, feminine and magical. When you search the internet 'In My Dream's We Are Flying' is described in various ways.

'inspired by the mystical works of Edgar Allan Poe.'

'inspired by the surreal and infinite possibility of lucid dreaming'

'Alice has gone to wonderland'

The collection is mystical and surreal though I don't know if I would go to the extreme of comparing it to wonderland. This is possibly because I wasn't their to see the the shredded paper and broken sculptures hanging from the ceiling in a creative yet still bizarre fashion.

When I look at this collection I see a glamour tea party with Gatsby. The pastel colour palette reminds me of being a little girl and the innocence that goes along with it. The romantic silhouettes are feminine, elegant with the sheer fabrics bringing sex appeal. The collection makes me want to frolick in gardens, drink tea and forget the troubles of the modern world.
