For a different twist on the military theme, designer Katrina Goulbourn has come out with a soft and feminine touch, using piña silk and soft satins matched with shantungs and with light beading. The usual rigid dark greens are muted to shades of avocado, khaki and olive combined with elegant hues of gold.
A fresh and dreamy take on the oriental inspiration is interpreted with delicate embroidery designs on modern basics. Imagine a black and rich red piña silk top with a striking floral design paired with a chic bubble skirt; a smokey blue wrap dress with a silver and black crane design; or a mandarin orange piña silk top with a royal purple skirt with a colorful floral pattern.
And for something even hotter, try white strappy tops and basic bottoms in a stunning abaca silk fabric with light beading detail.
