DE PAULA'S AW 12 COLLECTION | MARGUERITE'S MENAGERIE
"Hermione de Paula's celebration of nature, or rather a highly curated menagerie, belonging to an imaginary collector called Marguerite. De Paula's A/W 12-3 collection "Marguerite's Menagerie" centres around this fictional character who is a dreamer that allows exotic animal and floral prints to swathe around her body. Along with the usual dark twisted florals that De Paula has become known for, she adds monkeys, exotic birds, flying fish and bees as well as a 3D dimension of feather embellishments and bead embroideries to adorn her muse. In a season of seriously "RICH" collections, De Paula really indulges and invests in this Marguerite character and comes up with gold as there are few young designers that chase decadent and fanciful dreams of this nature. Who else would include 17th century inspired gauntlets and boot chaps as lavish accoutrements to the rest of the collection? I felt ready to pose for a François Boucher portrait, whilst sitting in Kew Gardens somewhere. That was when I was only wearing the solitary skirt and the matching gloves." - Via Stylebubble
