TFW diary: Golnaz Ashtiani takes us on a Roman Holiday

Following the ‘60s trend seen on runways this season and earlier last week at Pink Tartan, TFI 2011 winner Golnaz Ashtiani’s showed a Roman Holiday–inspired collection for Spring 2012. White, pastel yellow, purple, and mint green provided a sophisticated colour palette worthy of Audrey Hepburn’s princess in hiding, Anya Smith. Ashtiani kept things modern with colour-blocking blouses and dresses, flowing silk with ruffles, and exaggerated shoulders on dresses and blazers. Intricate pleating also came into play and was layered under a sheer mint dress. Taking my imagination to a far-away place and time, Ashtiani’s collection is certainly worthy of a runway princess.
