CLEAN SOPHISTICATE
Rolando Santana SS12
Taking us away from all the popping brights and floral patterns, designer Rolando Santana opted for richer colours—think vintage white, gold, silver, and sage green. Apart from the colour palette, textile choice contributed greatly to the collection’s well-received aesthetic. The extravagance of sequins and beading were balanced by the crafted simplicity in silk chiffon and cotton. And while through words, one may perceive the collection to be mature and overly feminine by the materials and palette, it is quite the opposite. Refined, it is—however, Santana delivered a youthful character in the clean combination’s presented.
