BASSO & BROOKE

With this collection Basso & Brooke invite you to step into it as if refreshed, anew.  You have the confidence of clarity and the benefit of wisdom, yet you are unburdened, effortless, chic.

Were they painters, this collection would represent the moment Basso & Brooke enter into the museum premier league.  Being the first designers to embrace digital print was not merely prophetic – it has allowed the duo five years (to date) in which to explore its myriad possibilities to the fullest. Now they work with the accomplished hand of the connoisseur, achieving a perfect harmony between gesture and placement, loud and quiet, statement and understatement.

The cutting is razor sharp. The silhouette a sturdy in contrast: sharp and straight meets curvy and fluid – slender and elongated limbs evolving into mini-explosions of draped embellishment. For added panache, fluidity is captured mid-movement as if time suspended.

Characteristically, new fabrics and techniques are explored – printed sequins and bespoke Jacquards employ cutting-edge technology to enhance the ‘wet look’ – alongside a joyous mix of silk jerseys, stretch nets, radzimir, double organzas, silk georgette, shantung, printed micro sequins, lurex Jacquards, and viscose gabardine.
