Ratna Ho Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

The all women band Krach playing in the right corner of the Transformatorhuis set the mood for the show. Then diverse models – some a little older than others, others a little more voluptuous – showed Ratna Ho’s f/w collection. A mix of straight silhouettes with ruffled, curly accents, sheer fabrics with thick, structured linings and robe detailing. Sheer black dresses were given a tropical colorful touch by those details. Dresses that would have looked common otherwise, yet now appeared luxurious and original, exclusive yet wearable and, not to mention, a little sexy. The transparent bags had the same detailing as the dresses and the surprising mix of straight and curly was even translated into the models’ hairdos. Ratna’s humor was definitely visible in the collection, but that doesn’t mean those clothes aren’t suitable for doing some serious business…
