Hayley Elsaesser Fall 2015: See the Aussie-based designer’s latest collection of ultra-cool prints
[gallerylink]
Aussie-based Hayley Elsaesser debuted her second World Mater Card Fashion Week show last night in Toronto, illuminating the runway with her Midnight Cowboy-inspired prints. Backstage, Elsaesser described the collection’s theme as Western meets samurai meets disco---somehow, it all worked.
While prints continue to be Elsaesser’s focus (and how could they not be for the woman who invented an eight ball wearing a cowboy hat!), she experimented with intarsia knit for the first time, resulting an ultra-cool and colourful camo sweater. With an emerging worldwide cliental varying in size, shape and age, Elsaesser cast the show with a mix of models, street kids and friends. Adding some extra street style steez, Toronto-based stylist Romany Williams mismatched the pieces alongside neon hair extensions and pop art nails.
It’s safe to say Elsaesser’s quirky follow up to last year’s FASHION Magazine Award-winning collection is street style snap-worthy for sure. It’s most certainly coming to a Beckerman near you.
