Amanda Wakeley 2016 Pre Fall Collection

Amanda Wakeley looked to the Bedouins for her collection, which was full of breezy pieces and supple fabrics that were meant to be layered. The desert influence came through in a luxurious poncho and suede bomber jacket, as well as reversible sleeveless leather jackets with faux fur and sheepskin details inspired by cold desert nights. There were separates galore: merino knits in an earthy, a blanket skirt; flared leather jeans, and jogging pants.

Offsetting the relaxed pieces was a sharply tailored white tuxedo with roomy trousers and a pinstripe suit. For evening, there were dresses, full skirts and voluminous gowns in fluorescent orange, white, silver and black. The standout was a black gown with a delicate lace bodice.
