Bright and energetic all-year round sunshine and luscious nature in full bloom with an eclectic culture is the foundation of Seychelles. For the Spring/Summer 2020 collection, Twisted Roots translates these elements into a collection that emphasises flowy and effortlessly chic silhouettes with pops of colour. The collection, titled ‘Striation’ aptly depicts its meaning with detailing in the form of stripes representing the raw beauty of the island.
Seychelles, a true natural gem, is home to pristine beaches, coral reefs, glistening azure waters, mountains, and nature reserves – all elements that greatly inspire the crisp colour palette of this Twisted Roots collection. Lighter, neutral, and earthy tones of beige, white and grey are fused with vibrant, eye-catching shades of coral, terracotta red and blue to pay tribute to the spirited culture of the island.
Influenced by the traditional ‘Kazak’ worn by the Seychellois, Twisted Roots has incorporated its aesthetic by creating designs that include delicate puffed sleeves, dropped shoulders blended with shirt collars that are so on trend, double placket and crisp pleats. Dramatic flares and ruffles symbolising traditional arts add a frolicking playful twist. While the vast natural beauty of waves and mountains are portrayed through curved panels and drapes.
Fashioned out of soft fabrics and created in flowy patterns and silhouettes, the Striation collection offers comfort and ease of wear while elevating the chic quotient of summer fashion. The crisp colour palette paired with the stunning drapes, flares and gathers of the designs make for versatile fashion that can be flaunted by all.
While the designs – which epitomise elegance and sophistication – are perfect to achieve that brunch-chic look, the pieces can also be dressed up for evenings. The Twisted Roots Spring/Summer 2020 collection presents an array of dresses, separates and throws that embrace the exquisite beauty and carnival-like spirit of the emerald island nation.
