As temperatures soar, Mela Purdie presents a refreshing collection of textures and colour to elevate high summer dressing. Influenced by architectural silhouettes and the play between sun and shadows, shapes are relaxed and wearable, with strategic necklines and cropped pants designed to accentuate a golden tan. These subtle details create a sense of ease without compromising polish and transition seamlessly from the beach to smart casual. In term of fabrication, linen is introduced as a quintessentially chic option. Not only does this natural fibre breathe well in tropical climates, but it delivers a crisp aesthetic in a range of separates and dresses. Pieces are available in classic white or in fossil, a modern speckled grey tone. In September, Mela Purdie’s offering balances clean, minimalist elements with highlight prints and colours. The result is vivacious and lively with a modern perspective. http://www.redworks.com.au/shop/
