The Meadham Kirchhoff SS13 collection embodies the opulence of a long-gone yesterday with the cool girl style of today and the avant-garde touches of tomorrow. A perfect match for British and French designers Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff's recent menswear spring and summer 2013 line, it is just as feminine with a lot more sparkle, as is appropriate.
Although indulgence appears to be the name of the game with the Meadham Kirchhoff SS13 collection, the use of Minnie Mouse t-shirts, innocent bows and denim jackets ground the looks beautifully. The accessories, including pearl embellished tiaras, clamper bracelets, drop brooches, hair clips, rings and long earrings, were all created by glass maker Lilien Czech.
The Meadham Kirchhoff SS13 collection was shot by Eleanor Hardwick for the upcoming Rookie Mag.
