MATCHI MOTCHI is for the ‘female’ who wishes to create the ultimate fashion statement, wear ‘attitude’ like a uniform, and give definition to her identity. MATCHI MOTCHI is recognised for its unique design techniques and fabric engineering. Like the designers themselves, they have matured and styled each Collection to the highest standard of sophistication.
Exceptional tailoring and styling are always the prime focus of each Collection.
Blak Cult Shirt RRP$229, DGS only $99!
For Winter 2011, the two complementary Blak ranges – Blak Basics and Blak Luxe – become intertwined, working to the same themes, and linking together to create strong and wearable looks.
Skin Deep is a collection of contrasts. On one side, it’s about loving the skin you’re in, through the soft romance of sheer silks and translucent laces. On the other, leopard skin prints and leather panels arouse a darker, wilder kind of nature. The lighter side of the collection is beautifully uncomplicated and flirtatiously revealing.
Brady Wasabi dress in Olive - RRP $289, DGS just $195
Brady is edgy and constructed, with intriguing silhouettes and colour combinations, it’s about having one key piece that makes an entire ensemble stand out. Movement is kept in mind with the design, as each Brady piece is produced to create or compliment the rhythm and flow of a woman’s body.
Brady is daring but not too out there – it takes risks to be a fusion of high fashion and easy wear, culminating in a range of distinctive yet easily identifiable pieces. Its real point of difference is in the attention paid to every garment as a three dimensional object, so that from the front, side and back, there is always something of interest, from the subtle detailing to the way it drapes.
The debut Brady range was inspired by Japanese Haikus, a form of poetry that is written, read and understood independently. This theme features throughout, resulting in a fully cohesive collection that can still be unique to its wearers through fluid silhouettes and daring new shapes in exclusive silks and modals.
