Walk Like A Slightly Grecian Egyptian

Sass & Bide's latest Spring/Summer 2010 collection - shown at London Fashion Week - has the usual edginess we've come to expect from this dynamic Aussie duo. The show started out in the African jungle, with a strong, zebra-inspired black and white theme.


Carried over from their winter offerings came some structured, cut-out pieces, but it wasn't long before we were treated to that African-infusion we've come to expect in coming seasons since the launch of Louis Vuitton's tribal-inspired collection at the start of the year.



Think Grecian goddess meets Egyptian warrior prince. The beaten gold embellishments are beautifully - and often intricately - structured, a stunning contrast to the often flowing garments. I've really liked the introduction of the maxi-dress on Sass & Bide's terms lately, however as always it's the mini-mini that shines in their collection.
