AURELIO COSTARELLA
2004 marks 21 years in the Australian fashion industry for designer Ray Costarella. His signature label Aurelio Costarella reflects this celebration with a strong reference to nostalgia.
Metallic ‘Gres’ dresses and contour skirts in shades of citrus and honey flirt with memories of a bygone era and historic personalities. Cotton tulle Medusa dresses and silk crepe Venus tops in pistachio and moss tones recall the decadence of the ‘20s. Capone and peplum jackets mixed with Peony dupion or Madeleine skirts play with the notion of masculine cuts for the feminine form.
Romantic line detail and intricate panel work, teamed with a rich earthy palette, make this summer 04/05 collection a commemorative range to behold.
