style notes: david tlale spring 2010
david tlale presented a basic palette of strong black and white pieces alongside metallic lilacs, browns, and gold. there was drama, there was femininity and there was menswear. here are the highlights:
a. he used lots of tassels and fringe benefits to spice up some of his black and white pieces. the ruffled, high-neck also added a dash of edge:
notice the tassels on the shoulder...
b. we're in all types of love with his sheer, romantic little white dress...he also threw in an interesting little black dress for good measure.
c. a hint of metallic chic in the looks below:
d. browns and golds also featured and seemed to form a mini collection of their own, complete with a modern take on the pantsuit, a sheer sequined dress with matching pants, and a one-shoulder evening gown:
e. the men were not left out in the looks below:
there were several charming elements in david tlale's pieces, several of which we look forward to seeing off the runway in the coming months.
