COLLABORATIVE MACHINE EMBROIDERY COLLECTION WITH MRC GROUP FOR MERCEDES BENS RUNWAY SRI LANKA 2016

URBAN TROPICS S/S 2016

In this collaborative machine embroidery collection with MRC group, embroidery is getting a fair amount of play and dense with color, and embroidery. The peace-and-love vibes of flowers and birds are intentional. The simple, covered-up, almost prim silhouettes act like a canvas for the embroidery. There are leather paneled skirts and embroideries decorating the backs of shirts. A surface decoration that is often considered old-fashioned gets a boost into modernity with tropical colors and new arrangements. The embroidered surface treatment also lends to the contextual reference being made with each design.
