Ophelia

 
  • Ophelia

A dark, melancholic mood descends as our modern Ophelia in Tata Naka's long peach pleats and lace Liam Fahy pumps plays out the hopeless romantic.

 

Skulls, pressed flowers and furs make up the scene as inspired by John Everett Mallais' 1852 paintings of Ophelia floating in the lilies her long hair spread out beneath the water and her ghostly grey dress billowing out under the surface.

 

With the silk dress and aniqued lace heels, Gripoix's multicoloured necklace and cuff of glass set with pearls and intricate gold give a modern day pre-Raphalite feel to Hamlet's ill fated heroine.

 

Temperley's long flowing dresses, Christopher Kane's appliquéd bright blooms of SS12, Ashish's bouquets of wild bunches tucked into shoes and Florence Welch herself conjure the whimsical magic of Ophelia once more. It's time to embrace the drama.
