When you mention Reiss to me,I would imagine a sophisticated English lady heading to work in a beautiful formal attire or a young lady in a simple yet tres chic dress heading to an afternoon tea gathering with her female friends. When I was in Dubai last I went to the preview, and I remember when I was filming the Reiss collection I received lots of questions asking me about the brand. Reiss is unfortunately in Jeddah yet, but it is in Riyadh and in Dubai, it is one of my have to stop at destinations in the Dubai Mall, even if I am not shopping I will have to go and check what's their new.
About the women's wear the nature’s authenticity offers tangible contrast in NATURAL SELECTION, where we see natural fibres combine with contrasting textures for a clean, modern interpretation. Rich, earthy spice tones offer a warm colour palette and the cashmere blend SHILOH and MOXIE loungewear set brings an element of luxury to downtime. Sharply tailored pieces are styled with softer, more subdued silhouettes such as the relaxed LANGLEY roll-neck jumper, and primal safari details offer a unique twist, with utility pocket detailing adorning the RAINE suede pencil skirt.

EASY ELEGANCE takes inspiration from
performer and choreographer Pina Bausch to re-create the graceful silhouettes
of the 1970s. Designed with a relaxed shirt-inspired collar and dropped waist, the
ARIZONA dress captures the aesthetic perfectly, whilst the KARMINE gilet offers
a modern take on the look. An air of innocence is realised through delicate
suedes, silks and mohairs, with languid, draped silhouettes and muted hues
stealing the focus. The tiered maxi-length PERLE dress takes the look through
to evening and stays true to the notion that movement should be fluid yet
considered.The complex portraiture of Marlene Dumas inspires PERIOD DRAMA, where
Victoriana influences carry through to the caged lace ELIZA evening dress.
Soft, delicately embroidered lace pieces such as the Premium TAMZIN dress and
the sleeveless ELIAS top add romance to the collection and juxtapose sartorial
elements.
With a nod to noir Americana, HITCHCOCK
HEROINE salutes 1950s leisurewear and re-imagines vintage. The VERDI belted
trench coat and wrap-front EVE trousers bring a vintage-inspired element to the
capsule wardrobe and tie-waist details soften the look. Sombre, moody prints
take reference from the work of Franz Kline, while key staple styles include
the fluid bias-cut BECCA dress.
SS16’s accessories collection is subtly
inspired by the romanticism ofthe 1930s and 1940s highlighted through detailed
finishing touches. Softness is present throughout the collection, with supple
leathers and a natural colour palette injecting each piece with warmth. More
functional styles are inspired by marble, suede and nubuck leathers in their
natural state. Core bag designs range from the softly structured ENZA and ORLA totes
to a more slouchy, tumbled-leather RUSSO clutch, and graphic, linear details
update footwear. Vintage hardware continues and pendant embellishments feature
for the first time. This play on materials continues through to footwear with
Vinyl and neoprene enhancing the contours of shoes to add a modern yet sexy
twist. In a softer, more feminine story, a series of twisted suede detailing
prevails. Flats are key to the collection with the signature VOLTA pumps
re-imagined in seasonal colours and fabrications.As the season moves into
high-summer, espadrilles and wooden-sole sandals steal the spotlight. In
contrast, high-gloss Perspex, crystal-encrusted and satin clutches offer an
impactful alternative. The collaboration with Christys’ continues with an array
of panama hats including the TREVILL in white, black and mushroom, and wider brim
options of BELARDO in natural and blue and LOVATO in brown.
The AVERY and LARENA bikinis boast
unapologetic palm prints, whilst the BINX ribbed design nods to a
1990s-inspired minimal tone. Premium swimwear launches, with considered
detailing adding that little something extra to the look. Flattering pin-tuck
details adorn the RAQUEL bikini and the LUNA plunge one-piece, while the gunmetal
embellished CODIE swimsuit features keyhole detailing.
