The Candela Spring/Summer 2013 collection has been released on behalf of Gabriela Perezutti, a designer based in New York. Perezutti grew up in Uruguay where she was privy to local ranches. She has remained true to these equestrian motifs in this line.
The lookbook for these Spring/Summer 2013 pieces was taken amid tree roots and free standing grass, choices that resonate with this equestrian state of mind. She has at the same time made direct references to the 1992 French film Indochine, a romantic yet political movie that she managed to channel here alongside photographer Tom Hines and the art collective that is Ro&Co. While these creative elements are quite diverse, they meshed well via Candela's light lace dresses and rope accessories.
