Michaela Frankova returns to London Fashion Week with her Spring Summer 2018 collection, presented by Fashion Scout.
Frankova’s SS18 collection gives a modern edge to the timeless elegance of golden era Hollywood. Embodied by the likes of Greta Garbo and Lauren Bacall, by elevating simple silhouettes through the use of a rich palette of textures, blending luxurious silks, her signature laces, delicate hand embroidery and feathers with scuba jersey as well as contemporary prints by the surrealist T-Mo Bauer.
Michaela’s background in bespoke luxury evening wear is evident in the attention to detail, hand finishes and quality of materials in the lace motorcycle and bomber jackets (with and without marabou sleeves), as well as hand, eaded, bodiced ballgowns (replete with detachable train).
The separates in this luxury ready-to-wear collection which include cocktail dresses in iridescent prints, cigarette trousers with embroidered seams, printed wraps and blouses invite easy mixing and matching allowing the wearer to choose to dress up or down.
Michaela Frankova, Ltd. supports the MTV Staying Alive Foundations goal of ending AIDS and HIV infection through education. Michaela chooses to lead by example, declining to comment on her hiring of non-traditional models in the show.
Michaela Frankova, a graduate of the London College of Fashion is a London based designer offering garments from regal to Rock&Roll, bringing the luxury of handcrafted artistry to high end ready to wear.
T-Mo Bauer the eccentric London based surrealist created prints exclusively for Michaela Frankova under their ongoing “T-Mo4MF” collaboration which will also provide designs for Frankova’s expansion into home textiles. www.tmotrix.com
