“It’s a dystopian future vision of a place where you can’t buy anything anymore so are left with what you can scavenge and salvage,” Danielle Romeril said of her “Survive” collection.
Oversized dresses came in combinations of corded velvet, flocked lace, plaid and technical quilting — laced together with leather strips via the Japanese Odoshi technique used for putting samurai armor together. Capes and cloaks deftly blended plaid with quilting.
It was a strangely opulent and eminently stylish exercise in make do and mend.
