Repetto SS17

Recently I attended the Repetto SS17 collection presentation at Fortnum & Mason at The Dubai Mall. Such a wonderful venue with an outdoor terrace which showcases the collection with a stunning view of The Burj Khalifa in the background.





The stunning collection drew its inspiration from 'Signs', a legendary ballet at the crossroads of art and classical dance.

It is unusual for Repetto to be so bold with their colours and I was quite surprised to see a collection of bold primary colours, geometric forms, and poetic accents.



This season, Repetto dares to mark out the stylistic leaps and bounds of a new femininity, one charged with romanticism, character, and with bold choices of styles and materials that offer a greater freedom of movement: delicate, powder pink creations feature alongside graphic pieces offering joyful reinterpretations with colourful curves.


Through subtle touches that echo the paintings of “Signs”, Repetto also plays on contrasts by exploring beautiful gradients on skirts, leggings, sneakers, and ballerinas. All these aesthetic chapters reflect the abstract choreographic tableaux of “Signes”; each piece is unique yet part of a harmonious whole, like the colorful days of a summer that flow into one another while each bringing something new... 
My favourite part of the collection is the teeny tiny baby shoes! They are just beautiful and my daughter would have the prettiest feet wearing them. They have the same print matching for baby, child and adult so my daughters and I could have matching shoes which would be so much fun!!






An Illustrator was sitting in the corner sketching beautiful drawings of attendees and handing them out as a keepsake. Such a beautiful gift and she drew with ease and effortlessness that was just mesmerising to watch.




Fortnum & Mason at The Dubai Mall serve the loveliest tea of all the flavours you can possibly think of and anyone who knows me, knows that I am addicted to tea so this was a delicious treat!



Hope you enjoyed this post!
