Riddle Me This AW 13 ‘By B.B. Bang’
New Zealand Fashion Week
5.00 pm Wednesday 5th September 2012
An apt hashtag for the Riddle Me This show would have to be #throwbackthursdayonawednesday.
Her collection entitled ‘By B.B. Bang’ was a burst of crazy and cool; perfect adjectives I can easily associate with the teenagers of the 90’s.
Streaked hair and pastel make-up lent a seapunk vibe to the neo-grunge pastels and hard-edged mesh separates accessorised with clear plastic Le Specs.
It’s not that surprising though because this collection was the brainchild of 23 year old Liz Turner who is evidently still fresh out of the teen department herself with this youthful collection; Turner’s first solo show at New Zealand Fashion Week.
The collection had a mish-mash of fabrics such as organza, fishnet mesh, custom-printed cotton (by Alexis Anne McKenzie), sheer, houndstooth check and denim. Fabric selection alone sure reflected creativity of the Big Bang scale.
Favourite pieces of the show would have to be the colour-block jacket, the printed shift dress with a mesh centre, and the monochromatic ensemble amped up by the pink hair and sunnies.
