NYFW – Mathieu Mirano S/S 2013 collection

The Mathieu Mirano Spring/Summer 2013 presentation was an out-of-this-world experience. Beats thumped in the background, as models posed against a stark white backdrop of other wordly jagged white cones.  The model’s make-up was kept to a bare minimum, and hair was slicked back into a plaited bun. It looked like you stepped onto a futuristic ice set.

The models were placed on the circular set, held in The Box at Lincoln Center Monday night, in colour order. Starting out in beautiful white with silver accents, the colour palette then moved onwards towards mustard, orange, red, navy blue, green and finished off with a sparkly combination of all colours. Model’s teetered on high, chunky colour-coordinated calfskin, clear acrylic heels, as not to take away from the amazing garments being worn. The only accessory shown was a chunky gold vertebrae bracelet.

The collection consisted of a mixture of pleated shorts paired with matching turtlenecks and blazers, floor grazing gowns, and leather pencil skirts. The finale of the show consisted of a white sequined cape with multi-rainbow yoke. Sparkly, and rounding up the entire colour palette, the floor-length sequined cape was stunning.
