Thursday 22nd and back at Art Hall 1, this time it is Romanchic ´s show, the one about to start. At the selected location, care and thought had been put into every small detail. A fact that stood out to me from the exact moment in which I was handed the beautiful invitations. Once at the venue, even name tags had a specific pattern and lettering, which made me appreciative of the extra effort and thoughtfulness, that had been put onto even the smallest details.
Romanchic is a Korean brand launched in 2013, under designer 최혜정 Choi Hye Jeong. A brand aiming to “provide balance among feminine and modern silhouettes, through a strong foundation on romantic beauty” to create sophisticated yet simple pieces that have “romanticism as their main motif”.
In the past years, there has been a very palpable swift into fashion and trends. A new side of fashion in which even big brands have been shifting in favor of creating not only statements but also designs and trends fitting for the day to day. The demand for wearable fashion seems to have significantly grown and Romanchic, alike with fellow European designers, seems to have matched up on it. Opting for bringing us this season a collection filled with beautiful designs, that are not only charming and delicate but also able to meet the many necessities of women today.
Soft but innovative creations, filled with elegance and class, that could easily remind you of women from other eras, while also representing many aspects of the current daily life and women today. A collection introduced to us on models wearing soft and feminine hairdos and makeup that spoke loudly and powerfully right onto the brand's name, a combination of the words “Romantic & Chic”.
With a fitting grooming approach and dressed in suits, beautiful and luxurious coats, pants and skirts, along with lovely dresses and statement shoes and accessories, the models kept on hitting the runway. Presenting us a very balanced collection, in which Romanchic portrayed around 40 outfits in a rich selection of materials, from fur to flannel, velvet, leather, cotton and even sheer chiffon.
Decorative elements and motifs, like ruffles, ribbons, quilting, distressed detailing on wool - a change from the mostly only distressed denim we are all so used to seeing-, lace detailing along with two-piece suits and an intelligent combination of shapes, layers, and fits, stood out on the runway. A beautiful ensemble of designs, in a collection, named “Siesta” - a Spanish word describing that blissful time of sleep in the amid of the day-, in which we were able to appreciate soft and snuggly creations, with which women today can dress, without having to sacrifice.
In today's busy and already complicated life, women want the best of both worlds. Being most of us on the lookout for pieces with which we do not have to neglect important aspects of the day-to-day, like keeping warm or comfortable, just in the name of fashion. With her new collection Romanchic, seemed to have read most women’s minds, being able to deliver, practical and wearable pieces that still exuded alluring femininity, class, and style.
