SOPHIA KAH AW19 PRESENTATION

For Autumn Winter 2019, Sophia Kah builds on the brand’s DNA of effortless dressing which concentrates on the elaborate detail of the craftsmanship. By cultivating a dynamic and alluring capsule, the Sophia Kah woman is portrayed as desiring a little subversiveness to her sartorial elegance.

Drawing upon the inspirational women from the designer’s own life, Sophia Kah delves deeper in a portrayal of evolving feminine prowess, as she unfolds the unyielding and compelling energies of their equal parts bohemian and fierce souls.

The collection is a testament to Sophia Kah’s innovative flair for reworking classic fabrics as showcased through the predominantly silk georgette, chiffon and satin bases often overlayed with intricate French lacing. The latter is best translated on a mini bustier dress with velvet halter neck, as well as through the brand’s trademark Sophia coat dress both sporting sequined tiger emblems expressive of the collection’s muse. A powerful, courageous, dynamic women whose spirit is inspired by the tigeress.

Sophia Kah encourages a sense of self-curated style with an adaptation tailored of separates, from split flared trousers with waterfall hemming to a versatile trench whose button detailing alludes to portuguese gold coins and can be worn solo or layered over one of the mesh cocktail dresses for a nighttime engagement.

Whilst the blacks, rubies and midnight blues of the collection lend themselves to the rich background of the Mark’s club’s eccentric interior design – the venue for the AW19 presentation – flashes of vibrant fuschia and scarlett explore a sultrier narrative. Further playfulness is injected through the fluidity of a silk georgette gown with an empire waistline cinched with a contrasting black velvet band, and a mid-length daytime version with a high neckline and gathering at the waistline to resemble corseting.

Sophia Kah offers more demure silhouettes for evening wear in the form of showstopping black long-sleeved fishtail gowns with polka dot lace-panelling, and midnight velvet floor-length wrap dress in a shimmery gloss which reiterates the asymmetric cut of various necklines.
