I don't really know where to begin with the Angela Brandys SS12 collection. That's because there is so much going on, it is hard to choose what to focus on. The haphazard mix of colors, textures and patterns has my head in a dizzy. Of course, in a good way.
Exotic, eccentric and eclectic, the Angela Brandys SS12 collection has a bit of an Inuit feel to it. From the furs to the tassels and even the baggy outerwear, this is what might be the result if 'Project Runway' set up camp in some remote, wintry location for a season.
Using materials bought from jumble sales and thrift stores, I see where the eclectic nature of the Angela Brandys SS12 collection comes from. The rest is from pure genius and imagination.
