beyond addicted: The "Violet Haze" at Bec & Bridge

Bec & Bridge's RAFW 2011-2012 "Violet Haze Collection" was my absolute FAVOURITE collection of the week... It was the very first show for the week in the OPT and it was BEYOND FABULOUS!!

The Violet Haze collection took me back to the late ‘70s in New York City as it was obvious the designers muse was Lauren Hutton – American model and actress.

The collection is feminine and effortlessly sexy with a mix of the sheerest of fabrics, patent leather and the softest figure hugging suede.

Two stunning prints feature throughout - The first named “Chrysler - was inspired by New York landmarks” says the designers, which feature abstract shapes on a soft cream backdrop. The second print named “Dahlia” is a kaleidoscope of floral colours.

The "Chrysler" print... BEYOND STUNNING!

P.S. My BEYOND FAVOURITE dress of the entire week... I can't wait to get this for Melbourne Cup!

Loosely fitted long skirts with thigh high splits, along with the sheerest shirts emphasise the relaxed feel in the collection.

Accessories are a massive style feature of this runway show as the renowned Australian Label Akubra collaborated with the designers to create the special “Bianca Adventurer Fedora”. The limited edition fedora is available in shades of lilac, khaki, blush and magenta, and is lined in Dahlia printed silk exclusive to Strand Hatters of Sydney and online at Bec & Bridge.

The “Chrysler Heel” was the other MAJOR accessory on the Bec & Bridge Runway. The spectacular stylish two toned suede shoe with gold detailing is available in 5 different shades which were designed to work with the collection. The shoes are available EXCLUSIVELY through the Bec & Bridge online.
