Most of us associate Australia with its fatal vermin and madly confusing (inverse) seasons, but the land down-under is indelibly in-tune with fashion. The iconic Australian label, WISH, epitomizes the country’s avant-garde style with their new Midnight Garden collection, inspired by the age-old cliché opposites attract. Fusing futuristic looks, like statement shoulders a la Lady Gaga, with elegant drapery and feminine floral accents, WISH accommodates the 21st century woman who isn’t afraid to assert her authority. The collection is thick with a wide variety of texture, stained in warm jewels, dramatic black and soft grays that flatter the female form with confident angular shapes and flowing romantic tops. I’m sure we all envy the Australian tans and bikini-friendly weather as our frozen fingers struggle to BBM in the frigid New York air, but with WISH shipping items to the US, we too can have a premature summer fling. Shop online at alibi and/or browse more of their collection here.
