Oh! You Pretty Things

Do you remember Dóra? I am sure you do. Her fall/winter 2010 luxury prêt-à-porter collection is inspired by the colors and forms of the hidden underwater world. Tones of blues, greens accompany shiny water-like or fish-like materials, scales decorate trendy minimalist silhouettes. A reference to glam rock, specifically David Bowie's wardrobe can be noticed in the pieces. In the new collection she designed shoes and fashion jewelry too. Love at first sight.

Dóra won the Design am Rhein competition with her collection organized by IGEDO in cooperation with the Fashion and Design Academy in February 2010 in Düsseldorf in the course of the CPD International Fair for Womenswear & Accessories. I am so proud of her!

The collection has been introduced in Nolca Fashion Week as well as New York in February.

You can find Dóra and her creations on her website and Facebook fan page.

The headline is the title of a song by David Bowie.
