Colour Palette

Altaf Maaneshia‘s Spring Summer 15 collection consisted of a beautiful and dreamy muted palette. Our eyes were treated to a host of mint greens, nudes, whites, peaches and mustard shades along with some metallics and prints. These colours compliment the fairest to the deepest skin tones which makes the collection suitable for any fashion forward woman.

Mix and Match

Maaneshia has followed in the footsteps of many of the other designers who showcased their collections in LA recently by making his designs easy to mix and match to suit your taste and style. He has created clean cut tapered trousers, skirts, crop tops and jackets which, with his fabulous colour palette, can create the perfect office to dance floor ensemble.

Prints and Textures 

Adding a touch of wow to the collection Maaneshia lit up the catwalk with some beautiful floral print pieces. Adding an extra dimension to his designs Maaneshia also brought in some textured fabrics with fab silver metallics and white quilted pieces. A man after my own heart He also finished off some of the garments with leather trims for that little extra touch.

Cuts and Styles

The true touch of quality and beauty to Maaneshia’s Spring summer 15 collection is the way he cuts and constructs his pieces. The asymmetrical lines on his silver and floral print top (pictured below) is gorgeous and very unusual. It is as lovely combined with his white shorts as it would be with you favourite black skinny jeans and that same can be said for most of his pieces. It makes the collection accessible to the everyday woman such as myself and I would be in heaven if I had some of these designs in my wardrobe! Also noted are the unusual and complicated cuts of the skirt and dress (pictured below). They are girly and pretty but can also be toughened up with a fierce bandeau top or a touch of leather.
