Melbourne designer Toni
Maticevski describes his
latest AW19 collection as
"a collision between nature
and modern technology."
Best-known for his thoughtful
fabric application, impeccable
tailoring and creative use of
color and texture, this season
dares onlookers to reconsider
technical materials as something
wearable. Resembling modern
art at times, Maticevski's
sculptural silhouettes are
softened this season by
way of embellishments.
A moody color scheme
is contrasted with
provocative netting and
metallics, including
a variety of sequins
and a gold and silver
foil jersey. Elsewhere,
billows of neutral-hued
tulle and draped chiffon
emphasize volume and
dizzolve any harsh lines—
translating to a tough,
yet still feminine feel.
