Barbara Casasola Fall/Winter 2013

Not all evening wear is defined by a glittering spectacle of beads or flashy colours and ballroom skirts. Sometimes there is infinite beauty in the simplest of silhouettes and understated shades, all without an element of ostentation. This is the sharply defined picture pencilled in by Brazilian born designer Barbara Casasola. The young Central Saint Martins graduate gained work experience for the likes of Roberto Cavalli, with assignments for See by Chloe and Lanvin, before launching her own London-based label in 2012.

Casasola's minimalistic approach to glamour ideally suits the lifestyle of the modern girl, presenting looks that are wearable, unpretentious and elegant. Her Winter 2013 collection is tinted in a refreshing palette of purples, from indigo to aubergine, violet, lilac and lavender, accented by pale pink, ice blue and black. 

Barbara sets herself apart by the innovative use of graphic colour-blocking, geometric shapes and fluid designs. Midi to maxi dresses and slick jumpsuits are beautifully furnished with crushed pleating in sumptuous silks, sheer organza inserts and exposed cording.

Take a view into the gracious Fall/Winter 2013 range by Barbara Casasola.

Elegant and understated! I prefer the maxi length and my favourite gown here is definitely the first one in Set 6 - there is just something about it which is different and eye-catching.

I didn't know about this designer, Barbara Casasola, I'll check her work out. My favorite sets ar 2,4 and 6. I could wear those garments even to go do groceries, just to show of, because they are so elegant and stunning !! Great post Sam :) !!
love it!!!

Set 4 and 5 look quite nice but I must admit that these are no pieces I would buy for myself. However I can imagine seeing them on some celebrities which will probably be able to combine them quite nicely ;)

Dressed With Soul said...

I´m in love with this clear cuts and my fav is set #2 :)

It´s really beautiful on the place where we took the photos for my last post, but to be honest I won´t to live there because it´s very high in the mountains and in the winter there are tons of snow and the sun doesn´t shine there I think about 3 mounts because the mountains are too high for the winter sun … And the snow makes the streets there often impassable. But in summer on sunny days there it´s indeed a dream! Wie live about half an hour to drive away from the Austrian border.

Wish you a wonderful rest of the week, dearest Sam <3

I think they are all sophisticated, opulent and posh but they are not direct toward young people.
