Marissa Webb Spring/Summer 2016.

For Marissa Webb's Spring-Summer 2016 collection, she juxtaposed girlish flirtatiousness with tomboy chic and jumbled them together in her fashion Spin Cycle for an offering that was neither too heavy nor too wan on either sartorial idea and struck a nice balance between both. Webb was influenced by pictures of her grandparents in the 50's, Grandpa bedecked in his military finery and Grandma beside him, dressed in her "Prim" frocks and noticed how interesting it would be if those two style statements morphed together into one cohesive idea.

Webb's best exits were when she feminized the military components into softer, more girly outfits or layered more demonstrably military ideas with more fluid clothes. The color palette was executed brilliantly starting with a cool Lilac and moving into Army Green and Desert Tan, then on to a flattering Golden Yellow and a Navy Botanic print that was most deeply welcome amidst the panoply of solids. The one odd and ill-conceived insertion, a strident and misplaced Coral Red that didn't jibe with the rest of the collection and felt distinctly jarring and out-of-place. Webb finished strong and on-trend with plenty of Black and White and after the early excursions into colour, felt like just what was needed to refresh the eye and on an exceptionally strong note.





That's All.
