Fashion / ShowSpijkers en Spijkers S/S 09Stepford Wives get a new interpretation and their coy image is subverted.ShareLink copied ✔️September 15, 2008FashionShowPhotography Mauro Cocilio Spijkers en Spijkers S/S 09 Staying true to their signature style of wearable, geometric cut dresses the Spijkers sisters created a collection that channelled their vision of a post 1960's housewife. "The era of the Stepford wives is viewed as a women's capitulation into 'masculine desire', therefore the contemporary view of a society of equality is overturned." The girls strutting down the catwalk were powerful, sexy and confident, whilst still retaining a feminine element of coyness, romance and flirtation.First we saw pastel pink, grey and lilac in multitudes of ruffles, frills and bows. This was followed by constrictive, demure looks made in sheer fabrics, not leaving too much to the imagination. Included amongst this demure yet naughty juxtaposition were a couple of beautifully cut peach and cream silk kaftans in honour of the 1970's stay at home wife. The collection had a perfect balance of lace, silk and chiffon with hints of leapord print creeping in leading up to full black lace power catsuits and leapord print two pieces, all the while in killer heels. Little details didn't go unnoticed, such as matching knickers and clutch bags.When asked who the woman is they're designing for Truus and Riet commented that "we are designing for every woman, we like to empower them and give them a little self confidence." Innocent and ethereal with a definite provocative, sexy edge and absolutely wearable. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
