ALEXANDRA KAEGLER

For her SS’10 collection, she brings more
opulence and richness to her designs whilst
still keeping true to simplicity and the perfect
purity of line.
Exhibiting the new collection in September at
the pop-up showcase hosted by micro-
boutique hotel 40 WiNKS , she explains that
the inspiration for her latest collection came
from the belle époque period (1890-1914)
and Ballet Russe combining both with the
haute couture of the 1920-40’s.
She mixes the high stand collar and intricate
detailing of the belle epoque man’s military
jacket with the elegant fitted tailoring worn by
the women. Fluidity and exoticism inspired by
the Ballet Russe is seen in the use of luxurious
fine silks, silk/cottons organzas and feathers
and are complimented by a rich more opulent
palette of petroleum, ecru and gold.
Attention to detail in the hand stitched button
holes, pleats, French seaming and panels
create elegance and simplicity.
