Marnie Skillings: hope for the sumptuous

Written by Tania Braukämper.

Another addition to the 2011 RAFW (Australia fashion week) calendar (last year saw her present her collection, unofficially, in the lead-up to the week), Marnie Skillings has us hopeful of great things. Why? Because her autumn 2011 collection had a sumptuousness marked by historical influences: from the liberal Alice Prin (better know as Kiki di Montparnasse) of the twenties to the ill-fated Joan Vollmer of the Beat Generation. Whether you take the highly feminine or the powerfully masculine elements, it all boils down to an air of sensuality – as the collection’s campaign embodies.

Will the same sumptuous themes carry over to the Spring collection when it hits the runway? We can only hope.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
