THINK Venice beach in California. Think skater, surfer or LA girl. That’s what Roberta Einer’s SS18 collection was all about. It was a mix of 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s California slogan fashion at Einer’s presentation at the old Central Saint Martin’s building, the designer’s alma mater.
A look Glass knows will worn by all the cool girls is the embodied letterman jacket. The jacket has a leather pastel pink sleeves and a baby blue felt body. Adorning the jacket is beading work creating a California sunset with palm trees, a surfboard and the slogan No Unlocals. Matching the other beading work on the garment, the model also wears tiny blue sequin shorts with similar beading from the jacket in a dark colour.
One stand-out look was the blue layered, net dress. The knee-length skater dress was decorated with red, pale pink and green leather flowers, palm trees and beads. The V neck cut was accompanied with silk, blue ribbon bows at the shoulders. Similarly, there was black, shoulder bow dress which had orange, blue, black, pink and peach sequins arranged in random yet thoughtfully placed around the dress. The palm leaf motif was seen on the garment in a different but familiar way. The model also wore knee-high sequin socks.
The designer also collaborated with Vans to create her own trainers to go alongside her collection. The white high-tops allowed for the perfect blank canvas. The trainers were embellished with patches of pretty delicate colours, beadings and stitching. The mellow purple trainers coincided with the collection making us want more glitter and sequins in our wardrobe.
The collection was truly a cool girl, sassy girl dream and we want it all.
