The Gudrun Sjödén autumn collection encompasses nature,
vivid hues, and the world of the jungle—African animals are fluid throughout
the line as influence.
A couple of my favourite patterns within this particular
collection are as bold as you could imagine, and given the inspiration
coming from the motherland, how could one go wrong? And, since a fashion medley of jungle
animals was the sole source influence for this collection, the result is a
harmoniously balanced line. You can really feel the spirit of the season all
over the line, even in a glance.
From sunset to sunrise, some of the most splendid blends of
colour (in the line) are interpreted from Savanna and the visible horizon. There
are earthy tans, deep neutral colours, and variations of dusky pink and purple intermingled
with jacquard knits and jersey fabrics.
The general colour story is charming, and with a jumbled palette like this
one, there are abstract motifs that are difficult to ignore.
The leopard, zebra, and giraffe all played a role, and
expand the breadth of the collection—pairing the jungle inspired patterns
together also make quite a fashion statement. I chose to go along with the rich colour
combination, but I added mustard yellow to my outfit. Then, to make it my own, I added my wide leather belt over the cardigan, which also gave
the illusion of a peplum.
Lastly, here are a few other styles that I am completely in
love with, some of which are so distinct and smartly designed for layering or
even coupling pieces with solid separates that you may already own. I could
easily see the cosy zebra tunic
blended with skinny jeans and boots, and the printed scarves worn in a myriad of
ways for autumn and winter seasons.
Stay tuned, I have
more colourful and eco-infused combinations coming soon. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of a few winter knits here.

Le sigh...Madison I am in LOVE with this look! The print reminds me of giraffes - so exquisite on you!!

An amazing combination of prints Madison and the way you set them off with the beautiful pops of colour is simply perfect. Adore your approach to accessorising these prints also. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care and I hope you are enjoying your weekend,

I think this collection is beautiful. The giraffe print is subtle but clearly very inspired by nature. The colors flow perfectly together and totally encourage layering. I like how you paired the leopard printed top with the giraffe dress. Of course the dress is sold out! Btw, I checked the link to the Leo dress but it is no longer linking correctly.
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC prints!!! SOOO cool and super fun!

Thanks for your comment. Yes, many of the clothes tend to sell out very quickly in recent months.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lilli. I wish you a wonderful weekend. xx/Madison
ReplyDeleteI liked it belted and thought a peplum would give it an elongated silhouette. Glad that you like it too. Thank Emmy.

Your outfit is fabulous. I like the bold print and colour combination. Mustard is not a colour I tend to wear but it's a great colour to wear with black. Those winter knits are so rich and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning and so elegant. Pairing of patterns is fabulous. This looks like wonderful collection. Great inspirations.
