Stolen Girlfriends’ Club’s HQ was cleared out to fit 200 guests for the showing of its summer 2012–13 collection on last Wednesday evening. Titled Hello Country/Goodbye Nightclub, the collection is filled with a mash-up of florals, chambray, crocodile-embossed leather, and naughty-Nana crochet knits.
The small town girl has grown up and sliced her “country bumpkin” frocks to make way for some new party outfits. The floral prints appear playful, but get a closer look and they take you on a trip, consisting of opium poppies and datura flowers.
In the menswear range, we see a clash between sport and street. The sporty silhouettes in semi-precious fabrics, preppy knits with ‘WTF’ embroidered on the front, and the American crew sweater with the snake and flamingo print all show this tension.
Their accessories are all in the signature print with leather trimmings.
Hello Country/Goodbye Nightclub drops into stores September and October this year.—Brea Pothan
