Remaining
true to the label’s dark and deconstructed signature, Religion delve into white
magic for their Spring/Summer 2013 collection, as they continue to evolve their
take on dimensional, contemporary womenswear.
The
definitive silhouette is soft and layered this season, with an emphasis on long
lines, abstract prints and effervescent colours, evoking elements of white
magic, synonymous with the brand’s rebellious and sinister undertones.
An
array of textures and lengths add depth and complexity, whilst also lending an
ethereal edge. Relaxed fabrics such as lightweight linen, yarns and handmade
textiles are toughened up with over-dyed denim and distressed leather for an
intriguing play on femininity.
Prints
such as Omen, Hallucination and Pray
sum up the mood of the collection, with symbols inspired by white magic such as
the Aconite taking precedence on
graphic tees. Standout pieces in this season’s offering include the Omen dress and chinos, which look to
the stars for inspiration, the Heart
Religion cropped sweatshirt, as seen on Pop sensation Rihanna, featuring
one of the brand’s favoured vintage photo prints, and the Magic maxi dress in smart
yellow Hallucination print.
Sequins
punctuate the collection in bursts of frivolity, in the Wilt white chiffon story with self-tone sequins and leather beads,
and familiar black ink and grey marl reappear for the season, lifted with
bursts of optic white and smart yellow for a twist on monochrome.
Summer shades including dazzling blue,
and red molten lava mingle with grey mist, continuing the contrast of
bright and sombre tones.
As
ever, leather is a key accent throughout the range of outerwear with highlights
including the Shiver Jacket, with
leather sleeves.
Religion
continues to expand its range, offering a broad range of colours, prints and
washes for a contemporary look at casual dressing.
