Alex Perry Cuban Princess Second Summer Collection

Alex Perry Cuban Princess Second Summer Collection

This coming Summer, Perry Girls sashay to the simmering melting pot that is Havana, Cuba.
Alex Perry's latest collection is inspired by festival fun, sultry nightlife, and the crisp upper class ... a fusion that is the essence of this politically charged paradise.

Let the heady Latina beats lead your feet as white hot tailoring cuts through the heat. Stay cool in cigar shirt-dresses that reflect a classic note. Precisely fitted and cinched jackets with sharp double-stitched collars reference a Spanish pedigree.

Turn up already scorching temperatures with party dresses in Tamale red silk trimmed with Curacao blue that are ready to Rumba. Send blood pressures soaring with dangerously tight dresses in colour-blocked mojitos of Pomegranate, Blood Orange and Pepper. Cut away necklines and cheeky hems in spiced shades deliver an intoxicating medley.

Pools of Caribbean aqua refresh the palette with voluminous patio gowns made of silk georgette and necklines that glimmer like a crystal ocean ... perfection for languishing on the wide veranda. Long billowing evening skirts slashed high to reveal a flash of tanned thigh, teamed with floral prints that make a sensational splash. A glossy slick of deep noir sequin intensifies the mood to scorching and the serious glitterati come out to play.

Lovely Latinas dive into jewelled blocks of twinkling festive colour as the giddy rhythm winds up again and the party continues till dawn.
If you have the stamina.
But of course...all Perry Girls do!

Alex Perry- Cuban Princess Collection SS11

Ladies, Cuba is calling! And with all of the hype of the Royal Wedding behind us, its now time to look for the new princess to look for inspiration from, The Cuban Princess!

Designer genius Alex Perry has shown his latest collection at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and has received rave reviews for finding the Cuban Princess in all of us.

The breathtaking collection of bright, festival-like colours mixed with precise tailoring offer the fun and flirty but sophisticated Perry Girl we all know and love.

The floaty fabrics and long flowing evening skirts leave us longing for summer afternoons spent by the pool, warm weather and dancing until dawn. Cuban Princess shows a flash of Spanish pedigree with fitted and cinched jackets and leaves us refreshed with Caribbean aqua and blues. Mixing in short party dresses with sequins in bright reds, oranges, blues and aqua, keep the collection interesting and youthful.

Cuban Princess is sure to inspire, tantalise and delight, but really, would we expect anything less of Perry?
