Georgine For Spring/Summer 2015 at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

The womenswear collection designed by Georgine Ratelband, delivered beachside sophistication directly to New York Fashion Week.

Digital thunderstorms start the show and yes I’m excited! Mixes of gold and soft pastels take me away to another place.

Inspired by the glamorous demimonde who descended onto Saint-Tropez during the summers of the 1970’s, the collection consisted of luxurious golds, rich creams, shimmering metallics and fresh mint. Looks were accessorized with mink tote bags and beach towels as well as leather clutches in the shape of surfboards in collaboration with Max Steiner Design.

I love the flow of the attire, it reminds me of 70’s classics with today’s fashion forward push. I love when a collection is not just a piece of art but also something I can wear and keep in my life.

The muses of this collection included paragons of style such as Bianca Jagger, Slim Keith, Gloria Guinness and Loulou de la Falaise. Also influenced by the photography of Slim Aarons and Helmut Newton, GEORGINE has crafted gorgeous bathing suit inspired evening wear, elegant beaded chiffon caftans and trench coats worthy of a stroll down both the boardwalk and Fifth avenue alike.

Georgine pushes aside the grungy halter top look and replaces it with elegance. A new design that should have been here years ago. THANK YOU!

The swimwear would make my favorite stylists proud, I’m never ready to give up beach-wear.
