| Fall 2009 Mac Millan present
an intoxicating melange of bold architectural and geometric
patterns fused with hand-crafted techniques and digital printing.
Designer Jane McMillan creates fresh, innovative shapes that
personify audacious femininity on silk crepe de chine, tafetta,
jersey and chiffon.
The collection showcases diaphanous billowing chiffon silhouettes,
quirky taffeta layered pleating and black jersey draping
which demonstrates dexterous cutting skills.
An eclectic print combination with an exciting colour palette,
ranging from vivid pink and yellow to monochrome black and
white, forges a spectrum tran-seasonal trend. Velvet appliqué
on black chiffon demonstrate hand-crafted techniques inspired
by the African Ndebele tribes painted houses and oversized
hand embroidered taffeta beads re-define a traditional craft
with directional execution.
February 2009 Mac Millan will be showing for the first
time in Milan amongst twenty of the most promising International
fashion designers at Spazio Lattuada, a new, innovative
showcase; and in March will show the collection during Tokyo
Fashion Week where Mac Millan have been chosen as one of
only two UK designers to showcase their collections with
the European Union showcase.
