Stockholm Fashion Week AW13: Mes Dames

Mes Dames, a Swedish brand representing the elegance of today’s femme fatale. Together with design aspects from the north in the form of Sweden’s clean lines, to the elegance of the soft lines of French sensuality, Mes Dames catches it’s aspects of precise tailoring and a keen eye for the attention to detail. We see contrasts in silhouettes from hourglass shapes to the rougher effect of boxy outer-layers. Materials contrasted between shiny and matte in colour combinations of Bordeaux red and Army green illustrating that this collection is all about contrast.
