Summer 23 Part Five

Evocative of Scanlan Theodore's dedication to modern elegance, Summer 23 Part Five showcases a synthesis of botanical prints, contemporary proportions and resort-inspired silhouettes that capture the spirited allure of Summer.

Elegant silhouettes crafted from lustrous silk recall evening design codes and romantic detailing as a magnetic depiction of partywear for end-of-year festivities. Artisanally crafted to retain softness in movement and a refined, feminine sensibility, the dresses are awash with pink, royal blue, and spearmint hues.

Re-establishing the brand’s penchant for interplaying femininity with modernism, the Italian Watercolour Mesh Dress debuts in a vibrant cobalt and red iteration. Exclusively designed in-house as a hand-painted interpretation of a hypnotic watercolour illustration, the signature silhouette is defined by asymmetrical, ruched detailing down the side of the waist and gentle draping across the bodice.

In a collection that reimagines resort wear - signature parachute cotton and Italian linen fabrications are grounded by a contemporary ease. Refined elegance adopts a new guise as artful separates are decorated with botanical embellishments and summertime-inspired hues. Designed to be styled together or apart, the tailored silhouettes balance refined sophistication with a relaxed sensibility.

Sophisticated allure meets artisanal craftsmanship as organic cotton is crocheted into elegant silhouettes. Reflecting the aesthetic codes of Summertime dressing, the pieces are imbued with modern ingenuity and a contemporary energy.

Australian supermodels Ajak Deng and Julia Nobis are captured against billowing backdrops created by material off-cuts. Complementing the effervescent motifs and tropical-inspired prints seen throughout the collection, the voluminous props underscore the fluid forms of Summer 23 Part Five.
