Hillier Bartley's Pre-Fall 2018 presentation highlights artistically deconstructed silhouettes that add a level of eccentricity to the label's modern formal wear collection. For the upcoming season, designers Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley focus on exploring the meaning behind tailoring. With a line-up of skillfully distorted traditional clothing, the creatives use an elevated and abstract-forward approach to modern formal wear.
The silhouettes that feature in Hillier Bartley's Pre-Fall 2018 fashion collection also instill a somewhat androgynous aesthetic with emerald green turtle knits and strategically cut tweed suits. Yet, a form of delicate nuance is contained by pieces like the silky smooth bow-accented blouse.
When it comes to their interpretation of modern formal wear, Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley add a whole lot of eccentricity with their elaborately tailored pieces.
