Born in the Netherlands and now based in London, Maaike Mekking has just released her most recent collection and it has a sophistication and decadence way beyond the label's three season life. While each garment is meticulously tailored, many still take on a borderline bohemian and ethereal quality. Others bring back the idea of power dressing, minus the shoulder pads and blokey shapes.
Inspired by a million things (art, literature, holidays to Berlin, people in the street and club kids) Mekking's Autumn / Winter collection is named Sing, Fight, Cry, Pray and takes its name from a Dutch folk song the designer recalls from her childhood. Like many designers, Mekking's technique is to take "classic shapes, references and ideas about clothing and pushing them into ultra-modern".
