For Alice McCall’s 10th year of showing at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, the designer dipped into her lucid dreams for inspiration. “This season, it’s serious, but it’s an existential answer; [inspiration] really came from my dreams. In my dreams we are flying.” The collection wavered from floaty, angelic, cloud-like whites and undulating designs in pretty pastels to printed pieces in collaboration with American collage artists Eugenia Loli and Beth Hoeckel who mashed up Egyptian, space and aquatic themes in a surreal manner. Summer also sees Alice McCall introduce footwear for the first time via a nude stiletto sandal.
