Winn Lane’s Ash To Gold shows at Fashion Week
If a mermaid wore clothes, she’d probably wear Ash To Gold. With the release of sophomore collection FUTURE FRAGMENTS just last week, this local label is taking its creations straight to the top, showing at the fashion event of the year this weekend.
Featuring wispy skirts, geometric detailed ‘scales’, fins at the hips, with an overall I-just-walked-out-of-the-sea-like-this appeal, these new pieces reflect lady-fish-goddess garb. In muted shades of deep royal blue and dusky orange, with icy white linens, golden undertones and splashes of bright aqua, this trans-seasonal collection will be on show in the New Generation 2 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia this Friday.
From the release of debut collection A DARKER SHADE OF LIGHT last year, Ash To Gold has secured a reputation for creating strong silhouettes of detailed panelling and contrasting themes. Employing the mantra “Everything is, essentially, a fragment of the past infused with the dreams of the future”, Samantha Ashton and Chantelle Cox take the slow craft of hand-dyeing fabric and an enduring obsession with repetition and apply them to a fashion-forward aesthetic, creating what is sure to be a promising future for the label. Find Ash To Gold at its flagship store in Winn Lane, Fortitude Valley.
