Different is beautiful

Amsterdam, Netherlands: Oilily has just presented its women’s fashion 2016 winter collection on Amsterdam Fashion Week’s catwalk. Clearly stirred by ethnic diversity, Oilily reflected this in its choice of title; Different is Beautiful, inspired by people of different cultures, backgrounds, beauties, outlooks and desires. Everything in the collection revolved around intriguing clashes; not only in colour but also in forms and fabrics. For example supple silk with wool, and tight fitting dresses were mixed with oversized coats. Oilily’s winter collection for 2016 expressed a rich and luxurious sensation, brimful of surprises.

Consisting of three mini collections, the first of which revisited the seventies to breathe new life into that most decadent of decades. The second collection dwelt on the contrast between sporty and deluxe items with a supple focus on softness, comfort and luxurious materials, while the third collection saw a balance of blue, green and red fabrics that all radiated a sumptuous, full presence with highlights picked here and there in glitter.
