Tony Ward Spring Summer 2018 Couture at PFW

A never-ending pattern is at the origin of Tony Ward's inspiration for this Spring Summer 2018 Couture collection: Fractals.

This chaotic pattern is everywhere around us; they are found on trees, rivers, clouds, seashells... Fractals' shapes are intriguing and infinitely complex; they originate from chaotic mathematical equations and are driven by recursion.

Following the same chaos, these patterns are replicated on the dresses; each repetition creating random, unique and beautiful outlines that are still very similar to the initial shape, yet presenting a multitude of infinitesimal differences.

For this Spring Summer 2018 Couture collection, these consistent yet random and complex patterns are handcrafted on dresses made of lace, organza, embroidered tulle and laser-cut satin.

The color palette is all about rose, lilac, light green, greige and cream; giving a light and delicate summery feel to the collection while softening the otherwise intricate details of the embroideries.
