Solid,
clean, and appealing. While its lovely sculptural and feminine designs
are an asset, Delpozo's strength lies in its continuity and consistency.
From season to season, it's image, the Delpozo girl, remains consistent
without being necessarily repetitious. Leaf shaped appliques,
voluminous silhouettes, and strong quirky color palettes are seen in
essentially all of Josep Font's collections since his inauguration as
Delpozo's creative director in 2012.
For the RTW Spring 2015 collection, skirts are replaced with wide-legged pants of exaggerated dimension. The seemingly mid-century inspired color palette consisted of mainly coral, emerald, lemon, and various shades of nude. Out of all of the previous collections, it seems most similar to the Fall 2013 collection which featured the strong ruffles that put Delpozo on the list of labels to look out for. These ruffles were re-interpreted on a smaller scale, and adorned the mid-section of tops and dresses as little bows.
At the end of the show, Font showcased a handful of light, chiffon gowns that appeared to drift above the models bodies and down the runway. The spotlight piece, however, was none of these. For me, it was the fourth look which was a pair of emerald parachute pants paired with the flamingo knit sweater. The nude color blended in with the model's skin so well, that the curve of the flamingos' necks was what appeared to be the hemline. There was also a bustier-style dress that was layered over a short-sleeve button up shirt. The glaringly obvious contrast between femininity and masculinity was captivating and definitely a takeaway piece. Both were absolutely wonderful.
Delpozo is definitely one of my favorite labels for womenswear. While very commercial and wearable, the brand's designs still retains an element of luxury. Pret-a-couture, so they say.
P.S. I never followed up on the Cheap Monday post 'cause 1. The pants weren't high-waisted at all, despite the name & 2.My hips look really big if I were to tuck in a top into my pants.
