A LOT LIKE HEAVEN

THE DEBUT SPRING/SUMMER 15 COLLECTION BY GBEMI IS ENTITLED “A LOT LIKE HEAVEN” AND WAS BIRTHED FROM THE DESIGNERS THOUGHT “I WONDER WHAT HEAVEN LOOKS LIKE?’ THE DESIGNER THEN BEGAN TO DREAM UP THE HEAVENS. IMAGINING A PLACE…

“WHERE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE POSSIBLE, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH TIMES BY 100 BILLION. A PLACE WHERE FLOWERS FALL FROM THE SKIES LIKE RAIN AND EMIT THE MOST GLORIOUS OF LIGHT. A PLACE WHERE ANGELS WINGS ARE FULL OF MULTICOLOURED BRIGHT FLOWERS AND MULTICOLOURED, DIAMOND STARS. A PLACE WHERE THE HEAVENLY SKIES FLICKER LIKE A COLOURFUL DISCO BALL. EVERY PART OF HEAVEN MUST LOOK LIKE A DREAM”

KEY WORDS FROM THE TEXT ARE “FLOWER(S)… EMIT THE MOST GLORIOUS OF LIGHT” AND “MULTICOLOURED DIAMOND STARS” WHICH IS INTERPRETED IN THE BEADED AND EMBROIDERED MOTIFS SEEN THROUGHOUT THE COLLECTION. THE COLOURS ARE BOLD AND VIVID JUXTAPOSED PANELS OF PALE, WASHED OUT TONES. FABRICATION IS GRAPHIC SEEN IN THE WOVEN SILK JACQUARDS AND MATERIAL BLOCKING OF THE LUXE SILK CREPES.
THE SIMPLE COLLECTION OF LUXE-STAPLES COMPRISES OF OVERSIZED T-SHIRTS, T-SHIRT DRESSES AND SHIFT SKIRTS. WHICH WERE INSPIRED BY A FUSION OF STREET WEAR SILHOUETTES AND SPORTSWEAR DETAILS.
OVERALL THE DEBUT GBEMI COLLECTION IS A VIBRANT BURST OF CREATIVITY, COOLNESS AND BEAUTY – PERHAPS “A LOT LIKE HEAVEN”
