Fashion is constantly inspired by the past. In Chalk Fall 2011 collection lovingly entitled, “Bon Voyage Marlene”, Singapore designer Priscilla is drawn deeply into Marlene Deitrich‘s portrayal of Amy Jolly in the 1930 film Morocco. The designer reinterpreted the war-torn love film through her new collection – from tuxedos, dresses to long gowns in hues of red, brown grey, black and white. In “Bon Voyage Marlene”, Priscilla has grown tremendously as a designer since her days at the now-defunct Swirl – yet she continues to stay true to her brand philosophy of fun, easy-to-wear dresses for the every day woman. I love how she tells stories with her collection without being pretentious and over-the-top. I reckon this collection is her best by far.
