Joining Fashion East for her LFW debut, young designer Mimi Wade revealed an AW16 collection that pays tribute to the multitude of fierce leading ladies in 1960s cinema. Gathering inspiration from classics such as “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Girl on a Motorcycle,” Wade’s designs focus on her muses’ abilities to defy social norms while retaining feminine flair. Meticulously hand-painted dresses and coats feature the designer’s playful approach to fashion as she exhibits a penchant for classic films with a signature pop aesthetic. Taking traditionally feminine fabrics such as silk and lace, Wade toughens them up to give the appearance of a biker chick ready to take on the world.
