Zambesi Resort 18

NZ heavyweight brand Zambesi presented their much anticipated resort collection last night at MBFWA. A street style, super wearable focus made for a strong point of difference amongst the other resort collections of the day.

The insanely cool, ready to wear collection showcased Zambesi's classic attention to cut & shape, and focused on use of unique fabrics and textures to add poignant points of difference to otherwise standard street style pieces. Jackets with extra sleeves, double pairing of socks and hanging ties were just some of the fun embellishments on show.

The outstanding highlights of the show included Zambesi's take on an almost holographic raincoat style jacket, and the use of baby pink socks to monogram the label's name on ankle boots (inspired & punchy!)

Layering and miswearing of items (eg. shirts buttoned backwards over the body) was also a theme on the Zambesi runway, which added drama & visual interest to the movement of flowing pieces. Top attention to garment structure, a muted colour palette of cream, green & dusty pink, and detailed garment fit created a streamlined chic feel for the runway, leading to a clean collection and successful show for Zambesi.

Congratulations to Zambesi on a fantastic showing - see you at Auckland in August! Xx
