"Dear Miami....."
Fall 2008

Fall '08 Scottish Designer of the Year Nominee, Jane Mc Millan, showcases a spirited, dynamic new collection for her label Mac Millan. Inspired by the flirtatious silhouettes of Poiret fused with illustrations of George Le pape, Mac Millan encompasses geometric shapes, with colourful prints in a vivid contemporary and innovative interpretation.

Debuting for Fall is a sculptural range of coats accessorised with soft cloche millinery to swathe and compliment Mac Millan's signature cocktail and red-carpet printed evening gowns. Voluminous folds of luxurious camel hair and felted wool create capacious cocoon shapes while cinched waists feature puff sleeves and pleats.

An elegant array of silk crêpe de chine, chiffon and jersey are digitally printed with a modern interpretation of Celtic designs, rocks and minerals, and elements of architecture. This eclectic print combination has an exciting colour palette, ranging from classical mauve, toffee and turquoise to monochrome, ocean blue, Miami pink and yellow that forges a spectrum tran-seasonal trend.

Mac Millan juxtaposes everyday fabrics with glamorous textures. Draped silk jersey dresses, featuring satin elements and bows are a fresh and modern interpretation of the 1920's and 30's style. A chiffon cowl neck envelops an unexpected finely pleated bodice on a swanky long dress, whilst a low-waisted cocoon silhouette is engulfed by folds of draping silk contrasted by strong skinny trousers.

Editors Notes: Mac Millan the label was established in 1997 with collections shown twice annually at London and New York Fashion Weeks, and occasionally in Paris. Founder Jane McMillan has a long highly experienced history of design working in the studios of Bella Freud, Ally Capellino and with fashion legend Ossie Clark following graduation from The London Fashion Institute.
