Even though #Nehera’s creative director, #SamuelDrira, steers clear of the abstract, he imbues #garments with plenty of nuance, so that they prove more persuasive on the figure, interacting with each other, than they do when unrelated on hangers. For the Resort collection, Drira addressed a range of #wardrobe essentials with thoughtful #design modifications: a starched white shirt elaborated with a funnel neck and jersey sleeves, relaxed #Japanese #denim with Judo belt seaming, and a lacquered #leather blouson that felt lightweight despite being reversible. The #designer kept his volumes vertical to articulate a Japanese influence; yet by layering crepe de Chine bias-cut dresses atop skirts, adding a cropped overleaf to a white T-shirt, and blousing a djellaba-inspired tunic, he showed that a longitudinal thrust needn’t just hang.
It’s easy to conclude from Nehera’s typically subdued color scheme that the brand leans too safe, which might be why Drira introduced saturated shades of purple and rust that he said evoked the photography of Serge Lutens. #WomensFashion #FashionBlogger
