It was such a treat to receive these images of the Gwendolynne Summer 2011/12 collection recently. I find Gwendolynne’s designs quite intriguing – there is a darker edge to them, but this sense that they have been carefully thought out with a mood of wearable art.

Gwendolynne is inspired by history.  She loves to search second hand stores for a treasure but is as equally inspired by her surroundings – flora and fauna along the Yarra River cited as her latest!

I love French lace so am thrilled to see a plethora of it in the latest collection. It’s crafted onto the gowns in beautiful hues – mochas, soft pinks and silvery blues. What I love most about Gwendolynne, apart from her use of spidery lace and amazing detailing is her daring-ness to pair black with the creamiest of ivories or a fine black lace over a simple very bridal silhouette.
