Leanne Marshall Spring/Summer 2017

Celestial is the best word to describe the Spring/Summer collection by Leanne Marshall.

Noon By Noor Spring/Summer 2017

The modern woman was reinvented at the Noon by Noor Spring/Summer 2017 presentation. Effortless and sleek, the lucent and light textiles flowing on the runway seemed like a breath of fresh air. Continuing with the current "lingerie as clothing" trend, the collection featured flirtatious slip dresses and comfy separates resembling sleepwear.  Adding to the relaxed feel were the soft blush tones, nudes and black color palette. The loungewear inspired pieces celebrated and embraced the different sides of femininity by playing…
