New Vero Milano collection for A/W takes fashionistas on a journey around the globe

By Melanie Kruger   |  

Luxury fashion label Vero Milano has launched an exciting new collection for A/W 2015-16, and the edgy take on recurring seasonal staples will take you on a trip around the world every time you open your wardrobe.

Inspired by designer Alina Matei’s own cultural experiences across the globe, the brand new line brings the Far East’s sumptuous fabrics together with the geometric patterns often found in traditional tribal art to create a bold and unashamed statement for the coming Winter.

Structures sleeveless jackets and coordinating sets form the basis of an especially versatile collection, with an emphasis on layering luxurious fabrics and interesting textures. Key pieces in the collection include sumptuous fur gilets along with contoured wrap dresses and biker jackets – all perfectly designed to showcase feminine curves with seductive style.

“If I had to use one word to describe the new collection, I would say chic”, said Alina, explaining her vision for the range.

“The collection was designed with versatility in mind, and the pieces can be styled a number of different ways, so no matter what the occasion, your outfit will look stylish and effortlessly put together.

“In particular, my favourite pieces in the new collection are the fur gilets – especially Celestine – as they can be worn layered over wardrobe staples like jeans, leather trousers and longline tees, or dressed up with heels, a designer clutch and one of our bandage dresses.”

“I love seeing women wearing my designs”, she adds.”I strive to design pieces for sophisticated women with a fast-paced, modern lifestyle, and create pieces which make the most of the female form whilst being timeless and classic in their own way. I’m a firm believer that looking and feeling beautiful is not dependent on age, it is a mindset you wear every day, just like getting dressed, so I aim to create collections which appeal to all women.”

Sexy yet elegant, the new collection features dresses in playful prints and rich jewel tones, as well as offering up a modern twist on the timeless LBD – and with Vero Milano’s past outfits acclaimed by top fashion critics on major catwalks around the world, it’s safe to say that this is one brand that knows exactly what it is doing.
