We have a couple of stunning images as a preview for the new Breeyn McCarney collection, Vessel. Vessel is a collaboration of dresses with artist, Irena Komadinic. The collection of twelve dresses took months of hard work and skill to produce, all inspired by the human heart. Vessel will show on May 29th, at an intimate and invite-only event. As a donor -- in support of the artists, their collection, and event -- you can decide where the money is spent, a special gift from either artist, and receive a special invite to the show (for the first ten donors). For more details on how to donate, please go here.

*Edit: Date of the show has been changed from May16th to May 29th

This S/S 2012 season, we get a different look from DeMOYO. Unlike her previous S/S collection, with an array of cocktail dresses, this season features more casual designs for everyday wear. Titled "Solacia", the collection draws inspiration from the sky and the sun, and a play on light -- inspiration "from the white light of the sun and the clouds that form seamlessly around it, and the reflections it causes." We can definitely see that inspiration with the use of whites, blues, and green accents.

Human Nature by Kallvis Gents

Kallvis Gents knows a well-fitted shirt will save a man’s life, and on the last day of |FAT|, he showed a wonderful collection on the runway. People may wonder how a shirt could turn into different looks for a runway show, and Gents proves the audience that this was possible. From sleeveless to long sleeves, there were different versions of the shirt, and he also managed to produce a few interesting outerwear pieces. It was a wonderful show and Gents’ shirts are now available on Ukamaku.

Worth. by David C Wigley

This was the first collection for David Wigley, after he decided to focus just on menswear, and the result was pleasant. There were 13 looks in this F/W collection, and some of the highlight pieces included the digital print blazer, and black oversized cape with studded shoulders. This collection also consisted of some amazing knitwear, which was a collaboration work between David and Dylan Uscher. We look forward to see some of the pieces show up on Ukamaku in the coming F/W season.

Rachel Sin

Fur and lace were two new elements introduced in Rachel Sin’s F/W collection, and they made the collection very sexy. The pieces continued to be very structured with a flare of edginess. Everything was highly wearable, so keep an eye on Ukamaku for the arrival of Sin’s F/W collection.

DeMOYO

Pai DeMoyo presented a very solid F/W collection. One of the highlights was the debut of knitwear, and they were very feminine and wearable. Another big surprise was seeing ROXX’s “Khione Collection” jewellery pieces on the models. These two brands definitely make a perfect match for each other in the up coming season.
