Subfusco as an Australian label are going from strength to strength. Their Spring/Summer 2010 collection - titled 'Collective Species' - stands out as designer Joshua Roberto Scacheri's best yet. On the runway at High Fashion, High Tea each outfit coherently fit with the story behind the collection: hope for humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.
The references to a bare and ravaged world are clear. Fabrics are natural, cuts unassuming; fabric remnants wound around the feet as makeshift shoes complete the post-apocalyptic scene. Yet there's a brightness and strength to the pieces which represents renewal - the dawning of a new age.
Stay tuned as this is one label we'll be keeping an eye on. Visit http://www.subfusco.com/ for more - or click on the gallery below for the full photo coverage of Subfusco at High Fashion, High Tea 2009.
