Sydney Rose Davies and Gigi Ashley Munns agree that clothes should be refined and humorous at the same time. In a world of politically correct disposable fashion, RosenMunns continues to make waves season after season.
The Spring/Summer 2009 collection is the designers’ first full collection which combines original prints with streamlined separates. “Clothes are a one-way conversation with the world”, states co-designer Munns. This season’s conversation is about bold-yet-delicate prints and strong shapes on soft cottons and Lycra. A restricted palate of grays balances the surf-inspired prints. Gradually tapered pant legs, sleeves, and skirts echo the triangular shapes in the fabric’s artwork (hence the names Triangle Pant, Triangle Top), with each of the separates created to mix and match to your mood.
For Rose and Munns, who founded their brand in 2007, getting dressed is also a means of survival - A way to control what you can. Pieces from the collection reflect an animal’s gift of blending into their environment to survive. “The tank and skirt are both light on the front like a shark’s belly”, states Rose, “and the back is darker like a shark’s back. Clothing is not meant to be safe, and this collection does not rely on a safety net.”
Rose and Munns’ plan is to stay afloat in the cut-through fashion world.
