The brand new collection from designer Mariana Hardwick launched last month and has the beautiful name ‘Precious Curiosities’. Full of decadent, luscious gowns with unexpected, dramatic detailing and soft, feminine twists.

I love the introduction of silver in this collection, especially in the whimsical, curling vine hairpieces. Being a fan of the last collection which featured a lot of black, the silver is more subtle but still adds a touch of drama.

‘Precious Curiosities’ celebrates the brand’s thirty years and looks back, reflecting on where the brand has come from to the brand it is today. This was drawn upon, as inspiration for the latest collection, “Authentic heritage is built upon real traditions and value, built upon experience, passion and know-how handed down over generations.”
