This entire collection was an amazing fashion statement using bold striking patterns and colours that popped in front of you. Frankie Quinn’s emphasis was not so much on structure and form as it was on a kaleidoscope of colour and statement items which included Russian-text printed leggings, fur and knitwear.

These tribal/hipster dresses were a bold fashion statement down the catwalk. Complete with pink and orange stripe, blues and greens,  they had a psychedelic feel to them. The dresses had cute peep hole sleeves leaving a slouchy hang to the arms which was cool. This 70s look was complete with a black chunky chain to stand out. The garments were complete with black print or black lining to bringing the other colours to life.
