The third poster in our series by Caitlin Shearer stars a silky spring suit and blouse by Karla Spetic. A peachy little number just right for when the buds come blooming again, it sits over the top of one of Spetic's photo-print blouses.
A painterly print by Caitlin features in the
Karla Spetic aw10 collection on a blazer and skirt, so this outfit from Spetic's new spring/summer collection was a natural fit for the illustrator. Instead of illustrations, Spetic has chosen strong photographic prints in contrast with soft pastels in her spring/summer collection.
The designer says "The idea for the collection came from a documentary I saw called
Dark Science depicting a greedy Swedish scientist who became so obsessed by the Aborigines and their way of life. At the end of his experiment he stole their personal and sacred belongings and smuggled them back to Sweden. I wanted to tell my version of this story by combining vulnerability and innocence with darkness and strength. This polkadot suit combines the two together so that the strong tailored silhouette which is more androgynous is completely contrasting to the soft pink polka dot fabric. The joys in creating this piece was the thought of someone wearing an all pink suit together with the soft pink shoes."
Next week, Caitlin paints Arnsdorf.
