The Latest Ashish Spring Collection Boasts Dark, Shimmering Details
Laura McQuarrie — September 22, 2017 — Fashion
Garments boldly emblazoned with "Witch" and "Good Mourning" set the tone for the opening of the Ashish Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear collection that recently made its debut in London.
The reflective disco balls on the ceiling weren't the only shimmering details of the show, as many of the garments included sequins to lighten what would otherwise be a dark atmosphere. Stars, moons and pentagrams were some of the motifs that were repeated throughout the collection, alongside elaborate sparkling headpieces. Most of the models walked with bare feet down the runway, save for a few who sported delicate foot accessories that matched others with adornments for the hands in similar styles.
On the collection, Ashish shared a fitting phrase from Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Only in the darkness can you see the stars."
