Overview
Long-time creative collaborators, Virginia Martin of Melbourne fashion label búl and photographer Kate Ballis have done it again. The quintessentially Melburnian team has come together anew, this time tempting us with easy, refined style and otherworldly prints for Autumn/Winter 2017. Ballis is renowned for her ability to transport you to surreal landscapes through her dramatic lighting and moody aesthetic. So, using the photographer's striking prints of mythical Icelandic landscapes, Martin and Ballis have gifted us with a capsule collection of wearable art and travel inspo in the form of five covetable pieces.
Ballis' mossy mountains sloping into hazy waters create geometric effects across a simple búl shift. Her icy glaciers evolve into subtle motifs that ripple over a jacket, top and skirt worn all together or separate. The collaboration also yields a cushion capturing búl's understated sophistication and Ballis' ethereal landscapes.
As a whole, the minimalist capsule is a dreamy, subdued mix of muted hues, clean lines and pared-back style, and we're ready to whip out our wallets to shop every piece. You may just find us packing our bags to go and become one with the mystical surrounds of Kate Ballis' Iceland like some immaculately dressed ice deity. Or you know, just donning fresh threads around the office like some immaculately dressed writer who's spent her last paycheck well.
The búl x Kate Ballis capsule collection drops in store and online on March 17.
