Inspired by the Austrian imperial times, kaiserlich und könglich. The collection takes it’s focus on opulent details such as pearls and ruffles paired with contemporary shapes and bright colours, adding a humorous and funky bridge to the ‚roial‘ looks of the new collection.
The designs boast a garish and extroverted style that is sure to stand out and set itself apart from current contemporary fashion offerings, using bold colours and contemporary shapes to pay tribute to a quasi-retro look without appearing dated.
Kalissi’s confidence regarding the choice of fabrics and design comes from a background in textile and graphic design. Utilising non-conventional fabrics and clashing palettes, her work combines new-wave tailoring with surprising and humorous details, resulting in commercial but unique womenswear.
