Though a bit unconventional, color blocked pleats are what makes Martina Spetlova's Fall/Winter 2013 collection so interesting.
The texture gives the garments an ethereal yet structural and very distinctive look, demonstrating that it's hip and easy to add a touch of freshness and originality to the archetypal idea of winter looks.The palette ranges from basic black and whites to light and slightly acid pastels, playing in contrast with volumes, which are somehow minimal and severe. The lookbook accompanying the collection is decidedly minimalist, and allows the clothes to speak for themselves.
The results are very feminine and peculiar looks, ideal for standing out in a gray-hued crowd on a cold winter day.
