Sabatini Highlights

Sabatini recently released their Sabatini White Autumn/Winter 2012 collection at NZ Fashion Week. The whole collection seemed to be tied by the use of detailed texture, pleather and translucent materials, and featured almost solely black, burgundy, and gold. They also had my favourite hair and make-up from fashion week - love the perfect skin, defined brows, and dark lip colour. My favourite is still the perfect red dress, but these were my other highlights:

I love the structure and formality of the jacket and collar paired with the simplicity of the black dress underneath, and the short hemline. Possibly the most wearable outfit of the collection (other than the amazing red beauty of course), though I'd probably pair it with coloured or black pumps rather than these toe-less boot type things.

I like the colours and texture of the dress, but dislike how the tights appear to cut off at an odd place. Perhaps paired with a different shoe rather than nude it wouldn't appear to cut off so suddenly. (Though I think I actually like the nude shoe individually)

Another amazing textured jacket and short hemline. Translucent dresses in ready-to-wear collections somewhat baffle me however. How do you wear this? I feel like if you put it over a singlet dress it would defeat the purpose of the piece. Gorgeous on the runway though. (And also beautiful shoes)

Awesome colours and print. Unsure if I'm sold on the pleather fringing on the hem though. And I dislike these cut out boots again.

The reappearance of the beautiful shoes and an amazing colour combination of the light purple dress and burgundy and purple jacket. I'd question the wear-ability of the textured jacket if it wasn't so well paired with the dress. Love the neckline and detailing on the dress too. I'd probably buy this complete look from head to toe.

Stunning colours and more translucent dresses. The jacket is amazing - reminds me of the ladies from Advanced Style. I really like the dress too but wish they'd suggest how to wear it without showing my undies. Also those cut-out shoes again, but I really like them with this look. That much burgundy probably can't be paired with anything but a nude shoe.
