Leonardo's masterpiece

Leonardo Salinas is the toast of the fashion set Down Under. Hailed by fashion watchers as the architect of fabric, his extraordinarily executed designs are subtle but sharp at the same time.

For his spring/summer collection look forward to futuristic dresses with a femme fatale flavor (we like) and a palette of gunmetal gray, black, copper, silver and cream. “By fusing past, present and future, these pieces can both be achingly familiar and novel,” shares Leonardo.

His designs will soon be part of the exiting mélange of www.highmaintenance.com, the soon-to-bloom brainchild of Bianca Zobel which will feature boutique brands from all over the world readily available here and all over the world at the click of the mouse. Nothing high-maintenance about that! — Celine Lopez
