No studs, No Sequins or a flower print in sight, but still this collection by Tina Kalivas makes my heart skip a beat. I've never seen myself as a girl who would even try to wear a tribal inspired look, but it's nice to be proven wrong.
The Australian designer delivers an inspired collection and demonstrates her talents by being able to marry such patterns. It's no surprise really since she spent 8yrs being a seamstress and pattern cutter for Alexander McQueen.
It's still awe inspiring that she can take the vibrancy in the colors and make it seem as if there is some sort of movement in the clothes. Your eyes can't help but move up and down trying to see everything at once.
The genius in these mini dresses is that Kalivas makes sure the prints don't swallow up the body by keeping to a contoured silhouette.
I encourage you to check out her website, her other collections are just as inspired, and completely different from one another.
Its storm city in Seattle, but this is inspiring me. What's inspiring you this monday?
