The “Let’s Paint” women’s fashion collection
created for spring summer 2016 offers a splash of colourful contrast
against black silhouettes. Fashion Designer, Delia Alleyne introduced the collection during the September 2015 market week in New York City. The looks include
rompers, jackets, funky trousers and that classic little black dress.
The
“Let’s Paint” collection is splashy, bold and is styled with a retro artist’s
cap that makes the collection reminiscent of the psychedelic sixties. The
applied fabrics range from nets to denim, to brocades as the paint splatter and
appliqueing adds detail and an interesting design element to the collection.
“Painting is like a metaphor for life...”, explains Delia “We are born as blank canvases waiting to be. Then moment by
moment, stroke by stroke... We create life’s memories by applying one colourful
moment in our life at a time.”
Delia, with her distinguished pink hairstyle,
has a passion for colourful fashions. Residing in Trinidad and Tobago, Delia
creates fashions tailored towards confident women. Her personal clients are
bold about making a grand appearance during special occasions, nightlife hot
spots and red carpet showcases. Delia is inspired by the many crafty artists
who surround her Caribbean nation. She began her career designing fashion gowns
for pageantry. Delia’s
tenure at Trinidad’s Caribbean Academy of Fashion and Design school prepared
her for a mentor ship working on costume design projects with the famed
Caribbean couturier es Meiling Esau. Delia strives to
bring an avant-garde genre of fashion design into ready-to-wear by applying
unique design details, and using finer fabrics. Delia’s goal is for the “Let’s Paint” collection to become
a luxuriant lifestyle brand that is recognised throughout the Caribbean.
