Starry Eyed at Ellery

Fashion Week strikes again with this amazing Zodiac-inspired collection from Ellery. From the very first look's insane ripped bell-bottoms and shimmering beads I knew this was going to be a standout range. Silver foiling and heavy beading (which I am usually vehemently opposed to) adorned the garments, turning the models into a shimmering sci-fi dream. They appeared through the rising smoke as if emerging from some post-apocalypic wasteland. I particularly loved the grey and blue tonal palette as the black pieces didn't give that "wow" effect on the catwalk. The cut-out jackets, double-looped belts and layering pieces show that underneath the extensive styling there are actually some amazing, wearable pieces- which is more than I can say for some designers.
