The Una Burke FW 2012 collection 'Overcome' features breathtaking pieces of fashion art. Compared to the designer's past collections, the FW 2012 line is highly wearable and even street-savvy. The series is a curation of belts, shoulder pieces and necklaces. It holds a highly romantic, slightly feudalistic vibe. The leather is folded and worn into evocative conceptual structures, accented by dyes and studs of varying degree.
Memorable pieces from the line include a full torso brace and a cylinder clutch. The torso piece is slightly reminiscent of steam punk culture, calling on futuristic and fantasy elements. The clutch boasts a large metallic hand piece, with several round pieces for functionality and bold decor. The line is romantic and rugged, perfect for the fashionista looking to make a super chic statement.
