Sass & Bide spring/Summer 2012





Sass & Bide are an Australian design duo who are based in Sydney. I don't often hear of Australian designers, especially who show in London, Milan, New York and Paris. So it is a nice addition to the lineup. I've been thinking about going out to Australia to intern in the Fashion industry over there, and seeing what this design duo have to show has convinced me further that it is a good venture. I think Australian designers have a lot to offer but they don't often get the chance to show in Europe or America. I'm hoping to follow more Australian designers and promote their work. 

I love the fresh colours and bold prints of Sass & Bide. Their use of contrasting fabrics is lovely, and the angular shapes created with their garments is a welcomed change to the usual florally and floaty themes we usually find in spring/summer collections.





I like how there is a change in atmosphere further along in the collection. You can still see the same theme of angles, but Sass & Bide have managed to steer it in a different direction to create an almost new collection. With the garment above, you can see the extent of their great use of pattern cutting . I just want to go up close to the garment and see how it's been pattern cut and constructed to create those folds!





As well as their garments, I've also fallen in love with their accessories. Their jewellery is stunning, and this purse! I want one immediately. I'd love to see how it opens and how many belongings i can fit in it! They're perfect to compliment the garments and complete the looks.
